Mugabe foes claim victory in Zimbabwe elections -
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
|
The party's top leaders met to decide how to react to election results that have yet to be announced, six days after the presidential poll. (article 4)
While official presidential election results have not yet been released, independent observers had projected a runoff, saying Tsvangirai won the most votes, but not the 50 percent plus one vote necessary for an outright victory. (article 17)
Earlier, Mugabe apparently launched his campaign for an expected runoff presidential ballot even before the official results of Saturday's election were announced, with state media portraying the opposition as divided and controlled by former colonial ruler Britain. (article 21)
(Tsvangirayi Mukwazhi/Associated Press) The announcements came as police cracked down on foreign reporters and opposition politicians in a move diplomats said could indicate Mugabe is poised to declare emergency rule after losing parliamentary elections last week. (article 18)
The announcement raised fears in the opposition Movement for Democratic Change that the authorities wanted to falsify the results of the presidential election that on Thursday night had still not been released five days after polling. (article 6)
HARARE, ZIMBABWE Authorities searched offices of the main opposition party and detained foreign journalists Thursday, fueling fears that ruling party hard-liners were trying to block a deal to end President Robert Mugabe's 28 years in power. (article 20)
