Tsvangirai applies for poll delay

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai today filed an application with the Constitutional Court to have the elections delayed further than 14 August sought by Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa. “Zimbabwe needs a break from the past,” he said. “There have been electoral disputes since 2000 where outcomes have been contested largely because of the legal and political environment in which the elections are held. If granted, I genuinely believe that Zimbabwe will have a lasting, credible, free, fair, and legitimate election whose outcome is not contested.”
