ZIMBABWEAN President Emmerson Mnangagwa said today that elections will be held in May or June following the fall of Robert Mugabe last year.
Mr Mnangagwa had promised to hold a vote following his appointment as interim president by the ruling ZANU-PF party in November, replacing long-term ruler Mr Mugabe.
The state-run Herald newspaper quoted Mr Mnangagwa today as saying: “Zimbabwe is going for elections in four to five months’ time” while on a visit to neighbouring Mozambique.
