Presidential
"Run-Off Election" Results
According to the Chief Elections Officer of the Zimbabwe Electoral
Commission [ZEC] the results of the Presidential Run-Off Election
were:
R.G. Mugabe
- 2 150 269 votes
M. Tsvangirai
- 233 000 votes
Total valid
votes - 2 383 269
Spoilt papers
- 131 481
Percentage
poll - 42.37%
In spite of
saying that the result would almost certainly be ready last night,
it was not declared until after 4 pm today.
Mr Mugabe was
declared elected as President with effect from today, 29th June
2008. He was immediately sworn in at State House.
The "Run-off
Election" went ahead notwithstanding Mr Tsvangirai's
formal withdrawal
from the contest on 24th June. ZEC rejected his notification
of withdrawal as having no legal force or effect and his name remained
on the ballot paper. In announcing ZEC's decision the chairperson
Justice Chiweshe did not go into detail on how that conclusion was
reached. The ZEC Election Report is eagerly awaited.
Legal
opinions taking a very different view of the effect of Mr. Tsvangirai's
withdrawal have been published.
