Zimbabwe latest: Mugabe faces impeachment by parliament

President Mugabe is under pressure from the public and his own Zanu-PF party

The party of Zimbabwe's embattled President Robert Mugabe is to begin moves to impeach him.

A Zanu-PF official said a motion to strip him of the presidency would be presented to parliament on Tuesday, and the process could take just two days.

The motion accuses the 93-year-old f charges including allowing his wife Grace to "usurp constitutional power". Military leaders, who last week intervened, said he will meet his exiled former vice-president soon.

• What next for Robert and Grace Mugabe?
• Zimbabwe's next likely leader, the "crocodile"

Emmerson Mnangagwa fled Zimbabwe after Mr Mugabe stripped him of his position, seen by many as a way clearing the way for his wife to succeed him as leader.

The move riled top army officials, who stepped in and put Mr Mugabe under house arrest, though he nominally remains the president.
