津巴布韋將舉行后穆加貝時期首次大選

President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe says the country will hold elections in four to five months, the first since the ouster of longtime ruler Robert Mugabe.

Mnangagwa made the pledge Wednesday during an official trip to neighboring Mozambique, according to a report in the state-owned Herald newspaper.

The Zimbabwean leader pledged to ensure free and fair elections to ensure Zimbabwe "engages the world as a qualified democratic state." Elections had been expected to be held in either July or August.

The 93-year-old Mugabe ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years before he was forced to resign under pressure last November after he was removed from power in a shock move by the military and lost support of lawmakers in his ruling ZANU-PF party.

During Mugabe's long rule, elections in Zimbabwe were marred by vote rigging and violence.

津巴布韋總統(tǒng)埃默森·姆南加古瓦表示，津巴布韋將于4到5個月內(nèi)舉行長期統(tǒng)治者穆加貝下臺后的首次總統(tǒng)選舉。

據(jù)國營的津巴布韋《先驅(qū)報》消息，姆南加古瓦星期三（1月17日）在對鄰國莫桑比克進(jìn)行正式訪問期間做出上述承諾。

這位津巴布韋領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人承諾舉行自由、公正的選舉，確保津巴布韋“作為一個合格的民主國家跟世界接觸”。預(yù)計選舉將于7月或8月舉行。

統(tǒng)治津巴布韋37年、93歲的穆加貝去年11月在壓力下被迫辭去總統(tǒng)職務(wù)，在那之前軍方果斷行動解除了穆加貝的職務(wù)，他還失去了他所在的執(zhí)政黨非洲民族聯(lián)盟-愛國陣線內(nèi)議員的支持。
