Elections probably won't be held as scheduled, Rashweat Mukundu, an analyst with the Harare-based Zimbabwe Democracy Institute, said by phone.
"The military is going to determine the shape of Zimbabwean politics, although they've tried to say this is not a coup," he said.
"This may result in the creation of a new unity government which will involve the opposition."
The country is now under military rule, said Alex Magaisa, a Zimbabwean law lecturer who is based in the UK and helped design Zimbabwe's 2013 constitution.
"When you see a man in uniform reading news on national television, you know it's done," he said in a text message.
"There are no more questions. Authority is now in the hands of the military."
