Zimbabwe votes for president and parliament
Zimbabweans braved chilly weather Wednesday to cast their ballots in elections that will decide their next president and parliament.
Current President President Robert Mugabe, who has remained in power for 33 years, said he would step down if he lost the election.
"If you lose you must surrender," Mugabe said. Mugabe's Zanu-PF party has been accused of vote rigging by his main rival, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
