Divisions Arise In 'Joint Opposition' Over New Party

Divisions have arisen within the 'Joint Opposition' on the matter considering the formation of a new party, with one faction speaking against such a move. 

The faction which does not support the new party is saying that such a move is a political risk and they might lose positions and other advantages. However, this faction is said to be a minority of the JO. A majority of former local councilors of the JO want to see the formation of a new party and the creation of a broad alliance.
