(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Voters in Zimbabwe are going to the polls in the country’s first election without the involvement of long-time leader Robert Mugabe.
The country’s founding President, Mr. Mugabe was ousted in a coup last year after almost four-decades in power.
The main contenders in the presidential vote are incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa, of the ruling Zanu-PF Party, and Opposition Leader Nelson Chamisa.
Parliamentary and Local Elections are also taking place on Monday (30).
Polls give Mr. Mnangagwa, 75, a narrow lead over his 40-year-old rival, who leads the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
