Harare: Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai will attend a regional summit next week meant to rescue a stalled power-sharing deal, his party's spokesman said on Friday.
"Monday's platform presents us with a perfect opportunity to articulate our compelling case for equitable and sustainable power-sharing in a unity government. So we will be there...," Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) spokesman Nelson Chamisa said.
Tsvangirai had threatened to boycott the talks, saying an election may be needed to break a deadlock in talks with President Robert Mugabe over control of cabinet seats in a new government. He snubbed a similar meeting in Swaziland on Monday citing Harare's refusal to give him a new passport.
