Tsvangirai Says Early Elections Could Solve Zimbabwe's Political Problems

"There is going to be a deadlock, and I have said to our party
representative that let's finalize this, let's not procrastinate by saying
we are going to have another meeting let's see what we have agreed and what
we have not agreed," said Morgan Tsvangirai. "Therefore we are able to say
to president Zuma and SADC that ZANU-PF is refusing to implement and
therefore as far as we are concerned the only solution is that let's agree
on a road map to an election."

Only last month the prime minister rejected a call by South Africa's
President Jacob Zuma for elections next year. Mr. Zuma is mandated by the
Southern African Development Community - or SADC - with facilitating talks
on the implementation of the so-called Global Political Agreement (GPA)
which brought about Zimbabwe's power-sharing government. SADC is a guarantor
of the deal along with the African Union and South Africa. South Africa is a
member of SADC.
