Zimbabwe will hold its next general election on Aug. 23, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said.
Mnangagwa, 80, has already been endorsed by the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front to seek second and final term as leader of the southern African nation. His main challenger is likely to be Nelson Chamisa, the 45-year-old leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change.
