Zimbabwe's president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has announced the country's national elections will be held on 30 July, according to Reuters news agency.

More than 100 political parties are expected to take part in the polls.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) opened the voters' roll for inspection just over a week ago.

The July election will be the country's first since independence in 1980 without a long-time ruler and former president Robert Mugabe.

About 5.5 million Zimbabweans have registered to vote in the country's elections.
