WASHINGTON – President Emmerson Mnangagwa says his government will conduct free, fair and credible elections this year.

Speaking at a high-level debt resolution forum in Harare today, Mnangagwa said the government is putting in place all the necessary measures to ensure that the elections are free.

Former Mozambican leader Joachaim Chissano and African Development Bank president Akinwumi Adesina told Mnangagwa and other participants that transparent elections are a pathway to Zimbabwe’s arrears and debt clearance program.

Zimbabwe is saddled with a US$17,3 billion external debt and US$6 billion in arrears after failing over the years to pay its dues to the International Monetary Fund, Paris Club, World Bank and other international finance institutions.

    ED and co lie like pigs can fly. His assurances mean absolutely nothing to us Zimbabweans . The lie continues today as it was in 1980. Let’s have international observers et al here and let’s hear it from ED.and not from others not born here.

    Zimbabwe has never had free and fair Elections for more than 25 to 30 Year’s.
    The state has been under Mafia control as shown on Aljazeera.
    United Nations should organise a committee to run and count Election votes from NEUTRAL COUNTRIES. No Government should have to count their own votes. CORRUPTION IS WHAT PLUNDERS COUNTRIES IN
    TO POVERTY.
