In an interview with CNN, Chamisa said of Monday's planned meeting: "We cannot go into positions of authority without the attendant and consequent power to enable us to deliver on change, food and jobs.
"It is an act of political hari-kari, political suicide, and we are not ready to commit suicide yet. We cannot commit political suicide by entering into a government limping and in pain. It's like swallowing poison and we become the victims.
"We are going to insist on the outstanding issues, which are to do with equity of ministries, making sure that we attain the position of governors in line with March 29 election and therefore we are going to insist and stick to our position and we hope Mister Mugabe and ZANU-PF will appreciate the nobility of our very vital position." ZANU-PF is Mugabe's party.
