Tsvangirai Contests Mugabe's Victory- Zimbabwe

Posted on 07:39 by Unknown













President Robert Mugabe and his party have officially been declared winners of Wednesday's election in Zimbabwe. But Prime Minister Tsvangirai and his party said they will not recognize the win and threatened to take to the streets. The majority may not necessarily be right- that is the essential flaw of democracy. See previous report HERE.

Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chairwoman Justice Rita Makarau said President Mugabe's Zanu-PF party had regained its two-thirds majority in parliament, following elections held Wednesday (31.07.2013) in generally peaceful conditions. She said Mugabe had garnered more than 60 percent of the vote cast for the president.
"Mugabe, Robert Gabriel, of Zanu-PF party is therefore duly declared the president of the Republic of Zimbabwe with effect of today, the 3rd of August. I thank you," Makarau told a crowd of supporters.

Mugabe's gathered supporters erupted into applause following the announcement and went into a frenzy celebrating their party's victory in Zimbabwe over Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai says he will fight Mugabe's win and he issued the following statement:

"The MDC totally rejects the 31 July elections. The fraudulent and stolen election has plunged Zimbabwe into a constitutional, political and economic crisis. In this regard, the MDC expects that the SADC and AU shall meet urgently to deal with this crisis in order to restore constitutional, political and legal legitimacy in the country."

The prime minister said his party would follow every avenue available to ensure the MDC can assume leadership of Zimbabwe, and Tsvangirai added that their plans include court actions and taking to the streets.
