With most of the 120 contested parliamentary seats from Thursday's election declared, results on the official counting screen at the Harare election centre showed Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front won 71 seats, compared to 39 for the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change, The Associated Press reported.


Robert Mugabe, President for Life. Talk about a RIGGED election!
