Mujuru approaches Tsvangirai for help in Bikita West by-election

Zimbabwe People First elder Didymus Mutasa told the Daily News yesterday that his party planned to invite Tsvangirai in Bikita West to address a joint rally with party leader Joice Mujuru, to help drum up support for the ZPF candidate Kudakwashe Gopo.

Said Mutasa:

It has been proposed that we work with our colleagues in the MDC and have VaTsvangirai address the people of Bikita along with our president (Mujuru) . . . please check with Colonel (Claudius) Makova, who is our point person, to see how far these plans have gone.

Daily News could however not get in touch with Makova but other ZPF insiders confirmed to the publication that Mujuru was also hoping to convince Tsvangirai to join her when she addresses a star rally in the constituency next week.
