Zimbabwe’s rival political leaders say they have reached an
agreement over a new constitution which removes a key obstacle in the process
by which elections are held. President Mugabe announced that he was “glad” a
deal had been reached, while Prime Minister Tsvangirai stated that “a long
journey” had ended. The prime minister had set the adoption of a constitution
as a condition for polls due later this year. Details of the deal have not been
made public, but it is understood that the powers of the president have been
curbed - a key demand of the MDC.
