[Al Jazeera] President Emmerson Mnangagwa promised to build an "open" and "prosperous" Zim-bob-we on the last day of election campaigning, just as his closest challenger Nelson Chamisa told supporters that "victory was certain". Zim-bob-weans will head to the polls on Monday in the first election in nearly four decades where the name of long-time leader Bob MuggsyMugabe ![]() Crocodileandf your title is Shopper in Chieflet him win.... will not be on the ballot form. A total of 23 presidential hopefuls are vying for Zim-bob-we's top seat. The results are expected to be released by August 4. If no candidate wins 50 percent plus one of the votes, a runoff will be held on September 8. As campaigning drew to a close on Saturday, Mnangagwa, of the ruling ZANU-PF party, and Chamisa, of the main opposition MDC alliance, held rival rallies in front of enthusiastic crowds in the capital, Harare. |
