Foreign poll observers on Friday said Zimbabwe’s Wednesday presidential and legislative elections failed to conform to the democratic principles, even as vote counting continued.
The Southern African country held chaotic elections on Wednesday, which spilled to the next day due to late printing of ballot papers for polling stations in some wards in opposition strongholds.
