a choice between maintaining this fits. that's cool. well embracing they change in the off position which they, i'm not sure yet. many would want to see a government that was sitting around the corner. me create jobs, good health, and include cvt. m s 11 mega is a 2 years old. he came to power of to a 2017 military quote, which tor poured a long time. who lot rebec mcguffey, many see, one of what didn't change much though, and he's accused of pressing openings. one of the international stage is known for his close relationship with the russian president. let me have 14. he had recently attended putting these after the assignment and accepted, gives, including in your presidential helicopter. no. so and to me, so he's just 45. he's a lawyer in the pasta, but it has been politically, it seems, is you,

he's credited with the reviving and published what position of to me just please, in the past few years. internationally. so many site is quincy dead, western leaning. then we're not going to i'm at least see the live stream that these 2 did info, the incumbents, jude to support from staple guns like security and the judiciary. and many expect another disputed areas out the context, no between pressed into non go away and you know, so in showing me so it's likely going to be a disputed good. the dispute is, it comes on i start getting will be on the opposition to prove that jim vi did not lose the election if the old position with but failed to prove it. that will mean more of the same wasn't bob was people. and many of them are struggling to advise it, but you call them or corresponding privilege. this one here, we filed that report. he is following that election for us and her rory,

and i asked him earlier, which issues are top of people's minds as they cast their ballots at the top of the people's minds. if what does go into different pointing stations today is the economy. you find that zimbabwe has been tried, is struggling economically, and a lot of people are employed and is what is going to cost the balance. is this troubles within the economy that will be at the back of their minds? they hope that the next government will be able to tackle most of the problems that people are facing right now. the challenges that they are facing most of the challenges has to do with us, the ability in the economy, things like the currency and the exchange rate. so these are some of the issues that people are going to be having at the back of their minds. it's the bread and butter issues that most people are concerned about. now your report also mentions

concerns about whether the run up to this vote has been free and fair. do you think we are likely to see a disputed results here? the analyst predicting it disputed, resolved in the sense that the issues that have been cropping up in the run up to today. one of the issues is to do with the what is called the the lead mutation exercise, which determines the boundaries of the cause, the twin sees. so you find that voice as some of them is they are walking into the polling station. we, we, to me is this uh today where people are coming to check the names. they have told that your name is not this pulling station. maybe it is not d plus shifted to it, pulling station which is now 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers away. so in, in that sense, a lot of people may not be able to what they are disenfranchised because some of

them may not be able to go to the respective places to go in cost. and they have what's that use as well. uh, pause the one or 5 the presidential contenders to withdrawal from the election because you was saying that look you during the it's the run up the issues to do with the disqualification of candidates. and then he says, even if i'm going to contest, i only have $24.00 members of by them in out or 5 more than 100. that they were expecting to be contesting. 8 to 7. does not monday to reduce that to contest. so you are saying, even if i then managed to become president, i will not be able to have control of the probably, i mean, so those, those are some of the issues that to me um you know, bring out a disputed result in this election. so with these issues and these possible hurdles

for some to actually go vote ours and all we ins, excited about the selection. these are, after all, only the 2nd general elections since represent copies allister, of the, the, what's is up, and if you're not, is the mood for him to run up to the election. the hype is not being, as it was in the previous elections, you would, uh, yes, you could not use that. we are in an election season because of the election. you had any that was happening you because of riley's and like, but if you speak to the general in the origin that people, some of them are not even consent to come out of their house to day to go and cut their balance because they're kind of fun with what has happened previously and what this thing is that some of the pros promises that were made in 2018 when not

met. so those are some of the issues that may be, you know, crop up as well. and due to some of the, of what has to come out and going to cost the balance today. well, thank you very much for your reporting. that is d w as correspondent privilege. what's been here in harry and let's get some other headlines were on the world's leaders of the bricks. group of nations are holding their 2nd day of meetings in johannesburg. leaders of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa are talking about expanding the block and using a currency other than the us dollar to reduce western economic dependence. building and central moscow was damaged after the russian capital was attacked overnight by drones. for the 6 night in a row, moscow airports were temporarily closed. the russian defense ministry said 3 drones had been detected to it's that were shot down while a 3rd was electronically disabled. the kremlin plains ukraine for the attacks. and
