Eight of the 10 regional branches of the ruling ZANU-PF party also call for him to resign. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says the people of Zimbabwe must choose their own government through elections. Sources close to ousted vice president Mnangagwa suggest he has returned to Zimbabwe — but this later turns out not to be the case.

Former vice president Mnangagwa replaces Mugabe as ZANU-PF party chief and Grace Mugabe is expelled.
