In a bold move, officials in Zimbabwe today declared that they will be announcing the result of their upcoming presidential election, hours before people go to the polls.
This election has been heralded as one of the most corruption-free in the history of Zimbabwe, and this decision has brought about an out-pouring of jubilation.
"It just goes to show, we are now so free that our Government is able to tell us the result without us having to make the trek to the polling stations. It is truly a victory for democracy," a local man told our reporters this afternoon.
The news has been met with mixed reactions internationally; a Swedish official questioned the move, whereas both the U.S.A. and Russia were in agreement that this, indeed, is a victory for the people.
