Britain’s ambassador to Zimbabwe mark Canning today warned the country’s power-sharing government not to rush new elections, saying a premature vote risked turning into a repeat of a violent poll two years ago. “Clearly, a number of things need to happen before Zimbabwe is ready. If a poll was to be held prematurely it would be most unlikely to be free and fair. It’s important to note that an election that is held too soon is likely to be much like the last one in 2008.” The results of the 2008 elections were disputed leading to the current inclusive government.
