Zimbabwe's rival political parties have agreed on a final draft of a constitution that will be put to a referendum ahead of crucial elections expected this year, President Robert Mugabe said Thursday.

The text forms the main element of key reforms needed to hold a credible vote after discredited 2008 elections.
