Emmerson Mnangagwa to be sworn in as Zimbabwe's President today
Emmerson Mnangagwa, the former Zimbabwean vice president, who was
sacked by Robert Mugabe, would be sworn in as the new president today to
replace Mr. Mugabe who resigned on Tuesday afternoon after 37-years in
office.
The 75-year-old was removed from office and exiled 13 days
after Mugabe accused him of disloyalty and insubordination. Mugabe had
reportedly taken the action to pave way for his wife, Grace, to emerge
as the new leader of ruling Zanu-PF ahead of the country’s general
election next year.
Mnangagwa is said to be popular amongst the powerful War Veterans
group and the Zimbabwean military chiefs and he'll over see a democratic
election come 2018.
