Zimbabwe election: First vote without Mugabe

Long queues have formed at polling stations in Zimbabwe in the first general election since long-serving ruler Robert Mugabe was ousted.

Foreign observers have hailed the election as an opportunity for Zimbabwe to break with its repressive past.

The presidential election is expected to be a tight contest between the incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa and his main rival Nelson Chamisa.

Parliamentary and local elections are also taking place on Monday.
