Makarau frustrates June polls

Zanu-PF's controversial plan for a June poll has all but collapsed after the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission disclosed that a fresh 30-day voter registration would be conducted in line with the new constitution, as pressure mounts on the GPA principals to create a level electoral playing field ahead of the do-or-die elections.

Sadc Troika of the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation last week poured cold water on Zanu-PF's calls for June elections insisting the inclusive government must fully implement an election roadmap agreed under the regional supervision.
