The massive performance of MDC(T) partly vindicates those who were
arguing that something was happening in the electorate and therefore
it
was necessary to participate in the elections]. However, our central

presidential election by an absolute majority, yet ZANU-PF is

the
regime would remain in power by hook or crook, unless otherwise
compelled by mass mobilisation. Further our other basic position of
the
likelihood of an elitist and neoliberal deal around a government of
national unity remains most likely. Despite the massive vote for the

elites who now dominate the MDC(T) are likely to cut a deal with the
regime.
