Zimbabwe poised to swear in new president, Mnangagwa

 

HARARE - Zimbabwe's recently fired vice president was set to return as early as Wednesday to be sworn in as the country's new leader, after Robert Mugabe announced his stunning resignation during impeachment proceedings against him.

  

It was not clear what the 93-year-old Robert Mugabe and his wife would do next. Mugabe, who was the world's oldest head of state, said in his resignation letter that legal procedures should be followed to install a new president "no later than tomorrow."

 

The speaker of parliament was expected to speak to reporters at midday on the way forward.
