Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former Zimbabwean vice president, who was sacked by Robert Mugabe, would be sworn in Wednesday, media reports say.<\/p>\n

Local media and Zimbabwean sources said Mr. Mnangagwa would be sworn in Wednesday to replace Mr.\u00a0Mugabe who resigned Tuesday afternoon<\/a>\u00a0after 37-years in office.<\/p>\n

The 75-year-old was removed from office and exiled 13 days after Mr. Mugabe accused him of disloyalty and insubordination.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mugabe had reportedly taken the action to pave way for his wife, Grace, to emerge as the new leader of ruling Zanu-PF ahead of the country\u2019s general election next year.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mnangagwa is said to be popular amongst the powerful War Veterans group and the Zimbabwean military chiefs.<\/p>\n
