No to snap elections: Mugabe

President Robert Mugabe has told Sky News that he will not violate the country's power-sharing deal by calling for a snap election in Zimbabwe
His comments contradict his earlier threats to push for a poll before a new constitution is in place.
"We do not do things unilaterally," the 87-year-old insisted in Harare.
"Things must be done properly within the GPA (the Global Political Agreement). There has been an outreach process and now we are moving towards drafting the new constitution."
Under the GPA - the 2008 deal that forced Mr Mugabe to share power with the opposition - constitutional reforms are meant to ensure the next election is free and fair.
But the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), still struggling to wrest any real power from Mr Mugabe in the two-year-old unity government, fears the President's Zanu PF party will find a way of subverting the process.
MDC leader and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said: "I know for certain that there are people in Zanu PF who know that Zanu PF cannot win a free and fair election.
"So they want to return to their old methods of violence, coercion and intimidation."
There has been a surge in political violence in Zimbabwe in recent months, leading to fears of a repeat of the 2008 election when hundreds of opposition supporters were killed.
Human rights lawyers say they are currently dealing with scores of cases - most of them involving attacks on MDC supporters by Zanu PF, some pointing to the collusion of the police.
Irene Petras, of Zimbabwean Lawyers for Human Rights, said: "We have a number of cases where people were attacked and then they reported it to the police, only to be arrested as the perpetrators."
In another sign that Mr Mugabe might be preparing for an early vote, he has stepped up his vitriolic campaign against western sanctions.
He is also pushing for the "indigenisation" of foreign companies - requiring them to sell 51% of their shares to Zimbabweans.
British companies, including Barclays bank, are among those being targeted.
Supa Mandiwanzira, of the Affirmative Action Group, said: "Zimbabwe has been raped by economic sanctions and this is the government saying it can't be business as usual for companies like Barclays."
Mr Mugabe's fast-failing health may also be a factor in Zanu PF's impatience for an election.
After 31 years in power, he remains the party's only electoral asset.
