Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid for a second full term in office is facing an unexpected hurdle after an exiled ally of former ruler Robert Mugabe made a late entry into the race, ahead of the country’s August 23 elections.
The southern African country’s presidential election was shaping into a traditional two horse race that has typified contests for the presidency for the past three decades until former Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere announced his candidature in June.
