Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has hailed the decision by Kenyan Supreme Court for overturning President Uhuru Kenyatta's win and ordering a fresh poll.

Speaking on Saturday, the Opposition leader said the decision was a "step towards democracy".

"This is an unprecedented decision in the whole of Africa and I think it's a good step towards democracy," Tsvangirai said to thousands of supporters at a rally convened by an alliance of opposition parties.

"If it happened in Kenya it can as well happen in Zimbabwe," he said.

The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has made three failed attempts to run for the country's presidency where he lost all to Robert Mugabe.
