July 30 (UPI) -- Long lines formed at Zimbabwe polling stations on Monday as the first presidential election not involving former leader Robert Mugabe began.
Mugabe led the country from its 1980 independence until his ouster in November. Polls give incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa of the Zulu-PF party a slight lead over the MDC Alliance candidate Nelson Chamisa. Both are running for the presidency for the first time, as are 21 lesser-known candidates, including four women.
