DHAKA: Team of Cruz and Kasich, stood for the Republican party’s presidential nomination have declared that they will now co-ordinate strategies against Donald Trump.

Cruz will cut campaigning in the Oregon and New Mexico primaries to help Kasich, while the latter will give Cruz a ‘clear path’ in Indiana.

Donald Trump said his rivals were ‘totally desperate’ and ‘mathematically dead’, reports BBC on Monday (April 25).

Trump has a clear lead in delegates but may still fall short of the 1,237 needed to win outright.

If he does not reach the target, the vote will go to a contested convention - where a different nominee may emerge through negotiations among party figures.
