By Own Correspondent- MDC co-deputy president Elias Mudzuri said that he will only contest for presidency if he is nominated.

Mudzuri said people should not be sidetracked by the upcoming MDC elective Congress set for the 24th to 26th of May but focus should be on reviving the economy and alleviating the suffering of the masses.

Said Mudzuri in an interview:

“…….I will wait for nominations But I really want us to talk about the economic situation, we want the government to account. People are struggling. I am moving around and people cannot afford [basics]. They don’t have the money and there are no jobs.

There are fuel queues everywhere and people are talking about the ease of doing business. That must be the debate because this country is not going to work with political arguments alone.

At the end of the day, this country belongs to all of us and if we are not careful and concentrate on political personalities, we will not find a solution.

… Look at Syria, it has been 10 years with civil war and if we are not serious, we will find ourselves in that situation. Even if we don’t agree, we must find a common vision. We can talk at an individual level.

Right now, we have a dead economy and people are too poor. We have a drought and it is real. We must seek solutions and we are a family as Zimbabweans. There is a need to remove the them-against-us mentality. We are one.”
