Any similarities between this and Bush v. Gore are not coincidental….Though the MDP has a lot more in the way of Cojones than do the Dems.
We now the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) saying that they doubt the official presidential election results, and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is talking about some sort of UN in the runoff elections.
In the parliamentary elections, we have protests on over half the seats, with the ZANU-PF and the MDC lodging 53 and 52 seats respectively.
In the what took you so long, the Zimbabwean opposition is calling for Mbeki’s replacement as mediator. Seeing as how Thabo Mbeki has done everything in his power to support Mugabe, it is not surprising that he has no credibility left.
Unfortunately, it appears that the MDC will not participate in the runoff, at least that’s their word for now, as they claim that Morgan Tsvangirai won outright.
He probably did, but a boycott won’t help.
