Political commentators have said the formation of a strong coalition opposition party was the only way of eliminating President Robert Mugabe.
“If your objective is that of wanting to remove Mugabe from office then, yes, creating an anti-Mugabe coalition will be the best thing. But we do not believe that it will be correct for us to enter into an alliance ahead of the national election, because it would mean short changing the people of Zimbabwe. It would undermine the fullness of democracy,” said Makoni this week.
