The Tendai Biti-led People's Democratic Party (PDP) suffered another setback yesterday after its entire Matabeleland North provincial executive crossed the floor to join former Vice-President Joice Mujuru's party, Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF).

About 20 PDP Matabeleland North interim executive members, led by provincial organizing secretary, Lameck Ndlovu, defected to ZimPF citing frustration.

The mass defections came a week after PDP deputy national chairperson, Watchy Sibanda, and 10 other party members from Matabeleland South also dumped Biti's party. ZimPF Matabeleland North interim provincial chairperson, Max Mnkandla, yesterday confirmed the defections.
