HARARE (REUTERS) - Former president Robert Mugabe, 94, cast his vote in a Harare township on Monday (July 30) in Zimbabwe's first election that does not include his name on the ballot paper.
A frail Mugabe, accompanied by his wife, Grace, shuffled into the polling booth and spent several minutes filling in his ballot paper with the help of an assistant.
A huge crowd gathered outside, some cheering, many booing.
Mugabe was removed last November in a de facto coup that brought his former ally Emmerson Mnangagwa to power.
Mnangagwa is the favourite in Monday's vote.
