MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai has announced a reversal of his party’s emergency motion to contest in the bi-election.
The MDC-T met on Friday afternoon in a make or break National Council as Mr Tsvangirai and top lieutenants pondered reversing a congress resolution not to contest in bi elections until reforms have been implemented.
Tsvangirai was going to field for the by-elections Theresa Makone, Thokozani Khupe, Douglas Mwonzora, Obert Gutu, and his own uncle, Hebson Makuvise who were all “vying for the big job” which has several benefits besides a salary, sources said.
But Tsvangirai’s deputy Thokosani Khupe stormed out of the meeting in protest when the decision was made, a source said, just as Tsvangirai made his announcement,
The meeting confirmed by spokesperson Obert Gutu that it would be a heated one, confirming an earlier exclusive ZimEye.com expose on the development (READ MORE- ), came as pressure mounted from perceived potential international donors that Mr Tsvangirai crucified himself for Robert Mugabe’s gain when he recalled Tendai Biti and his group of MPs the MDC-T say are “rebels.” The “rebels” include popular activist Solomon Madzore millions of Zimbabweans label Zimbabwe’s Nelson Mandela and pulled away untold thousands from Tsvangirai’s support base.
But following media pressure, Tsvangirai announced the council decision at the end of day,
“We have considered the congress resolution regarding the recall of 21 MPs from parliament and council was very emphatic that the position taken in October that reforms must preceded any election in Zimbabwe has been vindicated by the stories coming from across the country regarding the few by-elections that have been held because they are also shambolic,” he said.
The move analysts say, reflects that Tsvangirai committed political suicide when he chose to expel Tendai Biti and his Renewal Team legislators, since ZANU PF which controls the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, will now effortlessly swallow all the parly seats.

I also question Zimeye’s credibility. They were running with the story that MDC-T were going to reverse the Congress decision and participate in the By Election, now that their lies failed to materialise, they now want to persuade their sympathizers to buy that MDC made a blunder by recalling MDC Rebels from parliament. Those MPs called from parliament are no longer MDC T!!!

as predicted …… flip flop MT flip flops again. His Zanu supporting blunder revealed his ineptitude. Now, in order to hide his record breaking shame, he has to use his fellow members to help him unwind his decision. You, MT are the undisputed leader and decision maker of MDC and it was your autocratic decision that handed Zanu victory on a plate, adding to its 2013 victories. Zanu now can only be recognised as the inarguable populist party of the nation- despite its failings. Now you are flip flopping again, so why not be honest. be truthfull. Say it as it really is ‘I, MT do make the decison once again to reverse my previous decision that I made by myself’. Why hide in the skirt of your fellow members when you alone made the decisions? Because you want to hold onto power. because you want to attract donor aid. because you want the benefits of being party head. Shame on you. sadly, the damage has been done. You have single handedly ruined the party …. wait for the election results to come out. Zanu will regain lost ground as Mugabe’s politcal acumen wins and your lack thereof hands him easy victories. resign MT. Resign. You are a load of bricks on the back of MDC.

Hey hey these MDC-T supporters were very accurate about your reporting you Zimeye reporters or journalists. Which motion did Tswangirai reverse? Twisting facts and deliberately giving confusing information, whose mission is this? Him vakomana ka?
