Takunda Maodza Senior Reporter
ZIMBABWE is going for elections this year without fail, President Mugabe told visiting United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Ms Navanethem Pillay yesterday.
He said principals in the inclusive Government do not have the people’s mandate to continue extending the life of the Global Political Agreement.
The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces had an hour-and-a-half-long meeting with Ms Pillay at State House.
Sources said the President told the UN envoy that elements scared of elections were deliberately delaying the completion of the Constitution-making process.
“They touched on the issue of elections with President Mugabe bemoaning the slow pace of the Constitution-making process, which he blames on those who are afraid of going for elections,” a source said.
Quoting the President, the source said: “The President said, no, we must have elections this year. In any case, principals to the GPA do not have the mandate of the people to extend the life of the inclusive Government to next year.”
