Movement for Democratic Change President Morgan Tsvangirai has said they(MDC) would rather have no deal than sign a bad deal. The opposition party has said they would rather quit the power-sharing talks with Zanu PF, and have challenged President Mugabe to call a new election.
Another election will surely result in more violence in the country. So, why give Zanu PF supporters another chance to kill innocent citizens of Zimbabwe?
“We are saying to him you can call another election under international supervision and let’s see who is going to win that race,” Tsvangirai said at a rally to celebrate the 9th anniversary of the Movement for Democratic Change.
However if another election will solve the current crisis, then I will support the idea. Mugabe lost the previous election and I doubt very much he will agree to another election where be will surely be embarrassed by the MDC again.
Well, Tsvangirai is right in refusing to sign a deal which is not in the best interests of Zimbabwe’s citizens. If Mugabe thinks people still want him, then he should call another election like Tsvangirai is suggesting, and allow every Zimbabwean to vote. Even all those forced to flee the country because of his destructive policies.
So, what do you think? Have your say by posting your comments.

My ”2 cents” on this is that it is a rather foolish idea…..and this time MDC would lose in a big way…..
”the generals and mugabe” have had all the time in the world to work their ”murder magic” and the people are so tired and afraid…
MDC have some really rotten political advisor’s….
Those ”talks” should never ever have been entered into in the first place….

I thought MDC went into these power-sharing talks in the best interest of the people of Zimbabwe.
As I see it, they didn’t seem to have other options, especially after Tsvangirai had pulled out of the June 27 election, it was always going to be difficult to get Mugabe out of power.
Mugabe and his generals do not care about the citizens of Zimbabwe.
As I see it Mugabe and Tsvangirai are not going to agree in these power-sharing talks, neither is Mugabe going to agree call another election.
But then, what’s the way forward?
