| MDC getting impatient with Mugabe | |
| 2008-11-19 | |
| The Zimbabwean premier-designate has warned the president to keep his promise to form a coalition with the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai said President Robert Mugabe should not form a government without him. "If he wants to proceed with a government without us, I know he knows that is unrealistic and that government will not be functional," Tsvangirai said on Tuesday. He also pledged to use his majority in parliament to render such a government unworkable. "He needs us, we control parliament, and he needs a deal for his own sake, to salvage his own legacy," AFP quoted him as saying. In mid-September, Mugabe and Tsvangirai signed an agreement to share power after a post-election dispute, but implementation of the deal has stalled amid a row over the division of key ministries. In his trip to France, Tsvangirai urged European countries to put more pressure on Mugabe to break the political impasse in the country.
