HARARE (AFP) – Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe will form a new government "as soon as possible" and discussions are underway between his ruling ZANU-PF party and the main opposition, a cabinet minister said on Thursday.
"The President is in the process of forming a new inclusive government," Minister of Information and Publicity Siskhanyiso Ndlovu told a news conference.
"In the process of forming a government, we don't put deadlines but it will be as soon as possible."
Ndlovu said discussions between ZANU-PF and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) were taking place but refused to divulge details.
"We can't reveal what communications are taking place. We will let you know the results of the communications," he said.
The party's plans to push ahead with a new government come after MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai rejected a regional proposal at the weekend to set up a new government and share the disputed home affairs ministry with Mugabe.
