Zimbabwe: Back to the drawing board for Mnangagwa

Emmerson Mnangagwa, the Zanu PF secretary for administration who only last week expressed his interest to become vice President at the party’s forthcoming Congress, is now out of the race after he lost the nomination to Water Resources Minister, Joyce Mujuru. Analysts said Mnangagwa, the Speaker of Parliament and pre-Congress favourite for the post, will have to go back to the drawing back after only four provinces nominated him, with the rest opting for Mujuru.
