Voting in Zimbabwe's elections has been extended for another day.
This after some polling stations, mainly in opposition strongholds, experienced long delays. Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has accused the governing ZANU-PF of voter suppression, calling it a classic case of election rigging. Only a quarter of polling stations opened on time in the capital Harare yesterday, allegedly because of problems with ballot papers.
Yesterday, the Head of the Southern Africa Development Community mission in Zimbabwe Nevers Mumba expressed concerns about the late arrival of voting material such as ballot papers and ink at some polling stations.
