Temba Mliswa the former Hurungwe MP said ousted Vice President Joice Mujuru was reluctant to lead the yet-to-be-officially-launched People First party, but was being forced into it by PF spokesperson, Rugare Gumbo and former Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa.

PF is made up of members who were purged from the ruling party for working with Mujuru in an alleged plot to oust President Robert Mugabe.

Mliswa claimed that fights in the-PF were being caused by officials who were divided over whether to enter into a coalition with MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai or former national organising secretary Nelson Chamisa.

"The problem arises from failure to determine who between the two will make a better ally and not cause problems for Joice. One camp says Nelson is better because he is young and will be prepared to allow Joice to lead the proposed alliance as he can then take over later after gaining more experience. That camp says Morgan would want to lead any alliance with Joice as his deputy," Mliswa was quoted as saying.
