Zimbabwe's opposition MDC said on Sunday it will challenge a partial poll recount and the government promised the army would not fight Zimbabweans over the election which has raised fears of bloodshed. A two-week delay in releasing the results from Zimbabwe's March 29 presidential election has raised political tensions in the southern African nation, where the economy has collapsed. 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 the ruling ZANU-PF could overturn its defeat in the parliamentary poll. |
