1 Horsetrading: How electoral pact failure led to mdc losses 2008 Anonymous contributor July 23, 2013 As it looks as though any form of reconciliation between the two factions will not happen, most Zimbabweans would the want to minimise the electoral damage of the two factions opposing each other in a Westminster Constituency /First Past the Post system. Ideally the two formations could agree not to challenge each other in the few constituencies where it may significantly advantage Zanu PF. Obviously this could be difficult to agree on. Difficult, but not impossible. However the benefits to each party hugely outweigh the costs. (83 advantageous situations to 7 possibly disadvantageous situations) Mutare South is a typical example: Mutare South Chiri Gideon Chamuka Independent 362 Gombakomba Sarah Faith 2089 Kanzama Fred ZANU PF 7606 Saunyama Robert Tsvangirai 5705 In cases such as these (and there are many of these), Zanu PF has won the seat, thanks to the s divisions. It isn t easy however to convince a candidate that they can t stand in an election, even if it is for a greater good. It is my belief that it was actually the complete inability of the two formations to formulate a mechanism to choose a candidate in constituencies where they both had structures that played a large part in preventing any attempts at unity. However in a case like Mutare South, a reasonable person could ask- has the -N trebled its support in this constituency? The -N also lost seats because of the split; for example: Lupane West Khumalo Martin ZANU PF 3311 Ncube Vigilance 3044 Ndlovu Sylvester Tsvangirai 2005

2 There were many seats where the split made no difference to Zanu s fortunes; either because Zanu was very weak in that constituency: Luveve Mdlongwa Esaph Moyo Getrude ZANU PF 940 Moyo Reggie Tsvangirai Mujuru Kidwell Independent 697 Phiri Simba FDU 146 % Poll Or because ZANU PF were overwhelmingly strong in that constituency: Mt Darwin West Mujuru joice Teurai Ropa ZANU PF Gora Madzudzo Tsvangirai Shanya Joseph % Poll Using the results of 2008, if -T were to allow N to stand unopposed in 19 constituencies, and N were to allow to run unopposed in 84 constituencies this would result in: 71 Advantageous situations for T and only 4 possibly disadvantageous situations 12 advantageous situations for N and only 3 possibly disadvantageous situations. Advantageous being defined as being allowed to stand unopposed when either that section or Zanu PF are (roughly) within 30% of each other. Eg: Gokwe _T ONLY Ganyani Linet Tsvangirai 4533 Mangami Dorothy ZANU PF 5570 Penduka Limmu 1273 Disadvantageous being defined as not being allowed to field a candidate when that party had (roughly)more than 30% of the winning vote in As I only identified 7 possibly disadvantageous situations, I list them below. Firstly those disadvantageous to T Bubi ONLY Goosen Alex Peter Jourbert David Andrew Tsvangirai

4 have massively gained support. In some constituencies this may have happened. In others, a reasonable person might find it unlikely that one party will have increased its support by more than 500%.. Another problem is that agreeing among the factions to allow each other to go unopposed in their strongholds will further strengthen a tribal and geographical emphasis amongst the parties, particularly N. However the majority of seats in the country would be open for all 3 parties to field candidates in. Furthermore, if T were to allow N to go unopposed in Mudzi South, the N might win its first seat in Mashonaland, something that seems unlikely otherwise.: Open or M ONLY Mudzi South Kadera John 2735 Kanomakuyu Milton Tsvangirayi 2735 Mariwo Chamanga UPP 182 Navaya Eric ZANU PF 8202 And even within constituencies where one or other faction were not fielding a candidiate, that faction should still maintain its structures there, ideally supporting the other s candidate. I have only looked very cursorily at the statistics of 2008, and made some off the cuff recommendations of where it wouldn t matter if both factions fielded candidates (labelled ) or where it would be adviseable in my brief opinion that only T fielded candidates (Labelled T Only) or -N only field candidates (labelled N only). A final list would be the have to be the result of much further thought, research and discussion and negotiation in good faith. We have only done a cursory proposal as I fear the arguments over possibility of 7 disadvantageous situations will scupper the possibility of 83 advantageous situations, but if both sides were interested we could do further work. It was sobering to see the same party fielding two candidates in some constituencies, in 2008 always to the detriment of that party. By Province here is a breakdown of the seats where we recommend an open election, or whether we recommend only -T candidate stand, or only a N candidate stand.
