'Small' Zanu PF Crowd Marches for Peace in Harare

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — A small crowd of supporters of Zimbabwe’s
ruling party on Wednesday marched for peace in the capital, a day after
the opposition rallied thousands to demand electoral reforms.
Zimbabwe holds presidential elections on July 30. It will be the
first vote without the participation of former leader Robert Mugabe
since independence from white minority rule in 1980.
The ZANU-PF ruling party, which has been accused of using violence
and fraud in previous elections, called the march a departure from the
past.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has invited Western countries to observe the election for the first time in nearly two decades.
Speakers on Wednesday criticized 40-year-old opposition leader Nelson
Chamisa, who has energized the MDC-T party and has been endorsed by an
opposition party backed by Mugabe.
