Zimbabwe minister says no pre-conditions for run-off
HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's justice minister on Saturday ruled out accepting any pre-conditions for a presidential run-off after the opposition leader said he would only participate if international monitors had full access.
"The runoff will be held within the framework of the constitution and the electoral laws. There will be no conditionalities that will be outside this framework," Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa told Reuters.
Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Saturday he would only contest the run-off against President Robert Mugabe if international observers and media were granted full access to ensure the vote is free and fair.
