Zimbabwe's President Emerson Nangagwa (75) survived for a short time. The BBC report said at least 15 people, including two vice-president, were injured in the incident. Three of them are in critical condition.
A video footage provided with the BBC's report shows that when Nangagawa drew his hand to supporters standing on stage on a public rally in Bulawayo, the country's second largest city. At the same time a horrific explosion happened beside him. Bulawayo is a city where President Nangaguar's party has not won any national election since 2000. It was the speech of the first rally in Nangagwar in the area known as the opposition's base.
However, shortly after the blast, President Emerson Nangagawa said that he was right. But survived for a little while. A few inches away from the explosion took place. He also said in a tweet message that he went to the hospital to see the injured. Concerns have been expressed by the offices of the US embassy, including the United States embassy in connection with this blast.
A presidential spokesman said that although Nangagua was intact, the country's Vice President Camboy Mohaadi's foot and another Vice President Constantino Sewangar's face were damaged in the blast. Among the injured, it is known that Vice Swegner's wife Mary Sewinger is also the Vice President.
