Voting in Zimbabwe continued for a second day in some areas on Thursday after delays and logistical problems prevented some people from casting their ballots.
The extension was announced in a government gazette late Wednesday. Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said in an interview that he had requested President Emmerson Mnangagwa to allow the process to continue “so that people from the affected areas are not disenfranchised.”
