President Mugabe has rapped the MDC formations for employing all manner of tricks in a bid to delay the polls.
A two week delay would see the polls coincide with the United Nations World Tourism Organisation general assembly that Zimbabwe is co-hosting with Zambia.
"The other parties do not want elections, they are afraid of elections; they know they are going to lose and it's a sure case that they are going to lose," President Mugabe said.
Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa said Zanu-PF would only implement what it would have agreed on.
"We can only implement that which we have agreed, we cannot implement disagreements, they are not implementable. We can only implement that which we have agreed. If we do not agree then there is nothing to implement, until we agree on a particular reform then there is nothing to reform.
If there are disagreements then it is up to the political parties to take those issues to an election so that those disagreements are part of the election manifestos of the respective parties," he said.
