According to results posted at polling stations, the MDC now has a clear majority in Parliament with 117 of the 210 seats on offer. Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF has only 50 seats with a further 20 going to independents.
Even if Zanu-PF wins all the remaining seats, it will lose its Parliamentary majority.
The site Independent Election Results Center also has Tsvangerai with 58% of the vote to Mugabe’s 37%.

Agree with Tawanda – I remember well in 2002 all the early indications showing a big MDC win – only for the “official” results to hand the victory to Mugabe. Zimbabweans are about to have their genuine hopes smashed once again by this ruthless tyrant.

I cant understand, when the Information Minister Bright whatever-his-name-is is interviewed on TV why cant the interviewer simply ask, ‘what has Bob done for the average Zimbabwean in the last 5 to 10 years’. This talk of a run-off is nonsense. And why does nobody mention that any votes that he HAS got, he most likely BOUGHT with promises of farms, companies etc etc.
