UN chief urges Zimbabwe to postpone polls
Adjust font size:

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Zimbabwean authorities on Monday to put off the presidential runoff election slated for Friday.

"Conditions do not exist for free and fair elections right now in Zimbabwe," Ban told reporters in New York. "There has been too much violence, too much intimidation. A vote held in these conditions would lack all legitimacy."

The secretary-general, who has been in touch with a number of African leaders on the ongoing crisis in Zimbabwe, added that they all agreed that the elections should be postponed until the right conditions are in place.

"I would strongly discourage the authorities with going ahead with the run-off on Friday. It will only deepen divisions within the country and produce a result that cannot be credible," he stated.
