My friend Will

Oh well, Will Gwata lost in his very first parliamentary election, to an MDC candidate. In the photo, he is on a bus in Harare drumming up support in the old fashioned way. Here is what Will said on his own Party blog:

My bid for the Harare Central parliamentary seat has failed. The MDC clinched it. However, this is only a battle lost and by no means the war. So watch this space. I am retreating to lick my wounds today and tomorrow but I expect to be back in circulation on Tuesday. Thank you for your support all the same.
