MDC exhibits double-dealing

A leopard does not change its spots! How true for the MDC! While it was trying to hoodwink the nation into believing that it genuinely wanted dialogue, they were also compiling a court challenge against the presidential election result.
Yesterday, the MDC filed a court petition in the High Court challenging the presidential election and alleging that there was massive rigging.
This is the very same party which was pushing very hard for an election re-run to be the only item on the agenda of the talks with the ruling party.
How it now expects Zimbabweans to believe that it is serious about helping to solve the country’s many problems is mind-boggling.
MDC leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai had said he was against a court challenge but gave in to the strong influence of his white handlers.
But are there grounds for the legal challenge?
The courts will now have to decide on that. MOREPrinter friendly version
