Party backs Mugabe to contest poll runoff
HARARE (Reuters) - A Zimbabwean court will on Saturday hear an application by the country’s main opposition party to force election officials to release results from the March 29 presidential election, a party official said on Friday.
“It will be heard at 10 tomorrow morning (4 a.m. EDT Saturday),” said Nelson Chamisa, spokesman for the Morgan Tsvangirai-led faction of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
“We want an urgent release of the results, within 4 hours of the court order,” Chamisa said.
Zimbabwe elections officials have released results from the parliamentary election but failed to say anything about the presidential poll.
