Elisabeth Valerio successfully challenged the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission's decision to reject her nomination papers.

Officials said she had failed to pay the $20,000 (£15,000) nomination fee.

In her court challenge, Ms Valerio argued that she had provided proof of a bank transfer.

Earlier this month she said that women in Zimbabwe were being "denied the opportunity to participate".

There are now 12 candidates for the presidency with the election being held on 23 August.
