Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with counterparts in the African Union on free and fair elections in the Republic of Zimbabwe in 2018.
The UK has engaged counterparts in the African Union– particularly the Southern African Development Community – on the 2018 Presidential elections in Zimbabwe. We have highlighted that a democratic, prosperous and stable Zimbabwe is in the interests of the whole region and urged them to do what they can to encourage free and fair elections.
