Zimbabwe held its first election on Monday since former president Robert Mugabe was ousted in a de facto coup and European Union observers said the vote was “very smooth” in some places and “totally disorganised” in others, Reuters reported. 

Elmar Brok, the EU’s chief observer, said many voters, particularly young women, left voting queues in frustration at long delays. 

The EU has not yet made a conclusion on how to judge the vote, he said.
