Zimbabwe's opposition party splits

"By Peta Thornycroft,Independent Online, November 6, 2005 Harare - Zimbabwe's opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), has split. While Morgan Tsvangirai, its leader, on Saturday decisively won the battle to boycott senate elections, he lost most of his most senior colleagues in the process. Tsvangirai called on Saturday's meeting of the MDC's national council and it voted overwhelmingly against participation in the upcoming national elections to establish a senate, reversing a narrow decision on October 12 to field candidates for the poll.
