Harare - A Zimbabwean court has rejected an attempt to oust the speaker of Parliament , who is a top aide to the prime minister.

A supporter of long-time President Robert Mugabe had gone to the High Court seeking to oust the speaker, alleging there were irregularities when legislators voted for him.

A high court judge said on Tuesday that the speaker's election was carried out constitutionally and that legislators had voted freely.

Mugabe has led Zimbabwe since 1980. He was forced into a power-sharing agreement that made long-time opponent Morgan Tsvangirai the prime minister.

The coalition was formed following a series of inconclusive elections that were marred by violence blamed on Mugabe supporters.
