2018-07-31 津巴布韦选民参加穆加贝辞职后首次总统大选 Zimbabwe Votes in First Election Since Mugabe’s Ouster

津巴布韦选民星期一在38年来第一次选票上没有长期执政的津巴布韦非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线领导人穆加贝名字的总统大选中投票,选举新总统。

94岁的穆加贝去年11月在军方压力下辞职。长期以来的副总统、75岁的姆南加古瓦接管政权,目前是领先的候选人之一。另一名领先的候选人是最大反对党的新主席、40岁的夏米萨。

选举开始投票前,穆加贝星期天猛烈抨击他创建的民盟,并表示他不会投民盟的票。他说,他不能把票投给让他受折磨的人。

Voters in Zimbabwe are choosing a new president Monday in the first election in 38 years without longtime leader Robert Mugabe on the ballot as the head of the ZANU-PF party.

Mugabe, 94, resigned in November under pressure from the military. His longtime deputy, 75-year-old Emmerson Mnangagwa, took over and is one of the leading candidates in the election along with the new head of the largest opposition party, 40-year-old Nelson Chamisa.

Ahead of the voting, Mugabe lashed out Sunday at ZANU-PF, the party he founded, saying it did not have his support. “I cannot vote for those who have tormented me,” said Mugabe.
