Zimbabweans cast ballots in parliamentary and local authority by-elections seen as a yardstick of what is to come in next year's general polls
The by-elections were supposed to be held within 90 days of the seats falling vacant but the President delayed them in 2020 citing Covid-19.
The polls, which opened at 7:00 am on Saturday, have generated so much interest that President Emmerson Mnangangwa has led various campaign rallies to shore up support for ruling ZANU-PF candidates. On the other hand, Chamisa's party complained of growing repression by the authorities as several of its events were banned by the police during the two-month long campaign.Critics accuse Mnangagwa, who took power in 2017 after Robert Mugabe ruled for 37 years, of muzzling dissidents and the opposition has voiced concern that election will not be credible.
