Zimbabwe People First leader (ZimPF), Dr Joice Mujuru's home province, Mashonaland Central is in a panic mode following revelations that three other provinces from greater Mashonaland could be supporting the candidature of Ray Kaukonde for the party's top post, ahead of ZimPF's anticipated Congress.
ZimPF plan to hold its first ever elective congress in September.
The three provinces are Mashonaland East, Manicaland and Masvingo.
During an emotionally charged ZimPF Mashonaland Central Provincial meeting recently held in Bindura, the party's Provincial Coordinator, Godfrey Chimombe, told a group of bemused provincial members that Mujuru was fast losing support to Kaukonde.
"Ray Kaukonde with the support of Didymus Mutasa, Rugare Gumbo and Kudakwashe Bhasikiti-Chuma is now gunning for the party's province.
" Indications on the ground are that he would easily win Mashonaland East, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces," Chimombe reportedly said.
He added that indications were that more provinces could be mobilised against Mujuru who he accused of causing a lot of disgruntlement amongst national executive members.
"Dr Mujuru at the moment stands accused of causing a lot of disgruntlement within members of the national executive.
"She unilaterally printed a picture of her face on party t-shirts despite a resolution by the National Executive not to do so. This is the reason of her fall-out with Bhasikiti-Chuma".
Meanwhile, ZimPF Harare Province Interim Deputy Chairperson, Norman Chiroto was recently purged from the party for supporting Kaukonde.
