Voters in Zimbabwe have gone to the polls in parliamentary elections in a vote being watched closely by the international community. The elections passed off peacefully, but the opposition and human rights groups said it was not free or fair. President Robert Mugabe dismissed these claims as “nonsense”.

We’ll get reaction from Harare in just a few minutes.
