MDC under intense pressure to pull out of the deal

Hardliners from the MDC, frustrated by lack of progress in the sharing of key cabinet portfolios are reportedly urging the party leadership to walk away from the unity deal if there are no concessions from ZANU PF.

While the majority of the party’s big hitters have so far backed Morgan Tsvangirai for not caving in to Robert Mugabe’s demands to control key ministries in a new government, hawks within the party are becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress.

A source in Harare told Newsreel the majority of MDC MPs are from urban constituencies that have borne the brunt of the country’s economic crisis.
