Zimbabwe’s main opposition party on Tuesday boycotted President Emmerson Mnangagwa's State of the Nation address following his reelection in a disputed August election, revealing the widening political cracks in the southern African nation amid allegations of a post-vote clampdown on government critics.
Citizens Coalition for Change spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi said the party's lawmakers stayed away from the speech because it views Mnangagwa as “illegitimate.”
