INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Morgan Tsvangirai will become Zimbabwe's next president, according to the country's main opposition party, the MDC Alliance.
This comes amid calls for him to step down due to ill health.
But, the party insists Tsvangirai is an experienced politician, who will defeat the ruling Zanu-PF at the polls in 2018.
But critics want Tsvangirai to allow his deputy to lead the party to victory.
“President Tsvangirai is our candidate, we collectively as seven members of the alliance agreed without any equivocation that he is our best foot forward...
"None of us human beings has the power to decide who will be unwell tomorrow or unwell next week," said the MDC Alliance's spokesperson, Welshman Ncube.
Current President Emmerson Mnangagwa is the ruling party's candidate.
But opposition leaders say Zanu-PF stand no chance against Tsvangirai at the polls.
