IF THE opposition won 110 votes in Parliament on March 29 why does the press (with the exception of The Zimbabwe Times) continue to refer to the Movement for Democratic Change as the opposition MDC. Since the parliamentary election results were announced it is Zanu-PF which is now the opposition, unless ZEC announces after the recount that Mr Robert Mugabe’s former ruling party miraculously won.

 

Until the confusion caused by ZEC is cleared we should all refer to the MDC as either the former opposition party or as “the winning MDC”. It is nonsense to call the MDC the opposition when the party has the majority of seats of Parliament.
