Zimbabwe :Poll recount challenge
MDC lawyer Selby Hwacha accused Zimbabwe?s electoral commission of calling the recount for Saturday to help President Robert Mugabe find a way out of the biggest challenge to his 28-year rule.
A Zimbabwean electoral official said 23 constituencies in the election would be recounted next Saturday, raising new uncertainty over the vote and the possibility that ZANU-PF could overturn its defeat in the parliamentary poll.
A two-week delay in releasing the results from Zimbabwe?s March 29 presidential election has raised fears of violence in the southern African nation, where the economy has collapsed.
Zimbabwe?s army will not fight Zimbabweans over election results, the information minister said earlier. Southern African leaders called yesterday for the rapid release of the election results. The 14-nation Southern African Development Community ?urged the electoral authorities in Zimbabwe that verification and release of results are expeditiously done in accordance with the due process of law?.
