Western pressure for President Robert Mugabe's removal from office could lead to chaos in Zimbabwe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said on Saturday.
"This man is part of the solution, whether you like him or not," Tsvangirai said in an interview with Reuters, adding it was up to Mugabe, in power since 1980, to decide when to step down.
"If you push somebody out and you are not even sure what will happen when you push somebody out, then the result is unpredictable. Who is going to manage that situation? It could be chaotic."
Western powers have welcomed Zimbabwe's new unity government but have made it clear they would prefer it if Mugabe was not in power.
