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.
