Mugabe changes strategy for run-off

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has changed his campaign strategy ahead of the June 27 presidential run-off, opting for voter canvassing and small village meetings, a senior official said.

He is also threatening to expel the US ambassador, criticising him for advice given to Mugabe’s opponent in the run-off.

Mugabe has tended to make mass rallies the focus of his election bids since assuming power in 1980.
