answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The UK has had regular contact with the Zimbabwean Government over the last two weeks. Most recently, I met with incoming President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday. Officials have also met Chief of Defence Staff General Chiwenga.</p><p>These dramatic political events were clearly triggered by a military intervention. But the most important thing now is that Zimbabweans are able to exercise their constitutional right to elect a civilian government. This can only happen through free and fair elections. A re-establishment of a civilian-led government with a clear separation between the party and the state must be a priority. The UK has made this clear to the Government of Zimbabwe.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 30/11/2017 16:32:43 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
