Presidential, parliamentary, and local elections have kicked off in Zimbabwe, SABC radio reported.

The authorities fear possible provocations by radical activists of the opposition.

There are 11 candidates, including incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa, running for the office of President of Zimbabwe. 

If none of the candidates gets 50 percent of the votes plus one vote in the first round of presidential elections, a runoff will be held on October 2.

Both chambers will be elected during parliamentary elections. The ruling party, whose leader is Mnangagwa, aims to maintain its parliamentary majority. News.am
