Harare - Robert Mugabe's government ruled out forming a coalition with Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Tuesday after its ambassador to the UN said such a move was unavoidable.

"Our priority is to win the presidential election as Zanu-PF, that is our focus right now (but) if there is meant to be any government of national unity it cannot be with Morgan Tsvangirai because he is a sell-out," deputy information minister Bright Matonga told AFP.

"He is an agent of the British. We can never work with people who are not principled."

Matonga's comments came after Zimbabwe's UN ambassador Boniface Chidyausiku said that the eventual winner of a presidential election, still to be announced a month after polling day, would have to form a national unity government.

"There is no way anybody can do without the other," he told the BBC.
