31 Jul 2013 at 06:18hrs | Views
Zimbabweans voted on Wednesday in a fiercely contested election pitting President Robert Mugabe against Morgan Tsvangirai, Welshman Ncube, Dumiso Dabengwa and Kisinoti who have vowed to push Africa's oldest leader into retirement after 33 years in power.
All sides are forecasting landslide wins but, in a country with a history of election violence, the bigger question is whether the loser will accept the result of a poll dogged by logistical problems and allegations of vote-rigging.
Polls opened on time at 7:00 AM across the country, with long queues of people braving a bout of unseasonably cold weather to stand in line from well before dawn.
