Zimbabwe’s Supreme Court has upheld the disqualification of a former minister from challenging President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the August 23 elections because he is living in exile.

Former local government minister Saviour Kasukuwere was first banned from the race by the High Court early this month and on Friday the top court ruled that his appeal “lacked merit.”
