​The Government remains in close contact with EU counterparts on the 2018 Presidential elections in Zimbabwe. We share a concern about the risks of the elections not being free and fair, especially because of voter registration, human rights violations and restrictions on political activity. The EU is funding a UNDP programme to support the elections in 2018, which we regularly review and discuss with EU counterparts.
