ZIMBABWE TO HOLD NATIONAL ELECTION ON JULY 30.



Zimbabwe will hold nationwide polls to elect the president and members of parliament's lower house on July 30, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said.

He made this known in an official publication on Wednesday. The election will be a major test for Mnangagwa who succeeded veteran former President Robert Mugabe as head of state following a brief military takeover in November that led to the 94-year-old's departure.


"Monday, the 30th day of July, 2018 (is) the day of election to the office of President, the election of members for the National Assembly and election of councillor's," said the Government Gazette.

Mugabe's successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa, 75, will square off against Nelson Chamisa, 40, of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. Elections under Mugabe were marred by corruption, intimidation and violence, but Mnangagwa has vowed to hold a free and fair vote.
