BNF supports Tsvangirai withdrawal

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

The publicity secretary of the Botswana National Front (BNF), Moeti Mohwasa has commended the move by Zimbabwean opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai to withdraw from the presidential election run-off scheduled for Friday this week.

Tsvangirai who is the president for the popular opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), decided to quit the race because of escalating violence by President Robert Mugabe and his party, ZANU-PF. The MDC leader announced that it was withdrawing from the run-off over the weekend.

Tsvangirai said it was becoming difficult for his party to campaign due to the violence. The police have been intimidating opposition leaders, including Tsvangirai himself. MDC secretary general, Tendai Biti has been remanded in custody on treason charges.
