1. ED is playing a cunning game with the opposition. He says he wanted to meet opposition parties but ZEC told him there are 108 parties. So he postponed so they can get a bigger venue. If it happens the optics will be great for him: the big man, the godfather meeting the rest.
2. It will be a great moment for him to distinguish himself from the rest. It will say - I’m tolerant and look at me and them. We are united but they are not. In any event the main opposition will simply be drowned in the vast pool of briefcase parties.
3. The project is designed to embarrass & humiliate the MDC and Chamisa, the main rivals who will be sitting in the crowd of 108, the vast majority of them Mickey Mouse outfits. That’s why the main opposition must carefully evaluate whether it is worth being part of such an event
