Former President Goodluck Jonathan has journeyed to Zimbabwe in preparation for the country’s upcoming general elections.

Scheduled for August 23, Zimbabweans will cast their votes to elect new leaders.

Jonathan shared on his verified Facebook page that he arrived in Harare on Saturday, preceding the elections. The ex-President stated that he led a contingent of fellow members from the Joint African Union (AU) and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Mission to Zimbabwe. The purpose of their mission is to observe the electoral process, and he expressed his anticipation for a meaningful and rewarding experience.

“I thank the Zimbabwean Government, the AU and COMESA as well as Ambassador Zachariah Ifu and other officials of Nigerian High Commission, for a warm reception,” he stated.
