Morgan Tsvangirai is sworn in by Robert Mugabe
For much of Zimbabwe’s history since Independence the best hope for the country’s political development rested with Morgan Tsvangirai, a key figure in the opposition to the autocratic and corrupt Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party.
WorldPR was hired by the team led by Bertie Way and British pollster Lord Andrew Cooper to give strategic advice to Tsvangirai prior to the presidential election. Central to our immediate strategy was that he and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), which he had formed after quitting ZANU-PF, should boycott a contest that was obviously fixed because participation would lend legitimacy to the election. By contrast, the British Foreign Office argued forcefully that the MDC’s participation was critical to the development of a fledgling parliamentary opposition.

Tsvangirai’s supporters subsequently faced repeated arrests and beatings. In Tsvangirai
