Monday morning, and all is pretty much as it was on Friday – there’s been a lot of activity across the weekend, but nothing that got us any closer to getting the results of the Presidential poll.  Let’s start with a handy little visual of the Parliamentary results: MDC have asked for a recount on [...]

…and still the story goes on. I took a break from following events for most of today, as a few incidents yesterday got my blood boiling to the point where thinking about it all coherently wasn’t really possible. When that happens, it’s time to take a step back. Senate results are complete – of the [...]

I speculated earlier that last night’s raids may have been an attempt to provoke street protests by MDC supporters, but that it didn’t seem to have worked. Now it seems the tactics may be getting sneaker – albeit more typically Zanu-PF’s style: Reports coming through from Zimbabwe indicate that the stalling of an announcement on [...]

Looking at the total votes cast for the House of Assembly, you may be asking how the initial predictions of an MDC landslide turned into a neck-and-neck contest, with Zanu-PF actually showing a majority of the total votes cast (or you could be wishing I’d get back to my usual one post a month, and [...]

First Senate results are out, and following the trend it’s MDC/Tsvangirai 5, Zanu-PF 5. Two of those Zanu-PF seats would have gone to the MDC, if having both factions fielding candidates there hadn’t split their vote. But that’s not the main news tonight. It seems Mugabe may have decided to come out fighting, despite diplomatic [...]

  I mentioned in my last post about the issues around the two MDC factions working together. By way of an example, here is MDC/Tsvangirai’s Eddie Cross taking some delight at how poorly the Mutambara faction fared in the polls, while here MDC/Mutambara’s David Coltart blames the Tsvangirai faction for creating a situation where some [...]

ZEC have finally completed issuing the results for the House of Assembly, and it looks like this: There are still three seats left undeclared – they weren’t voted for on Saturday due to deaths by candidates. They’ll be filled by by-election later. Two of those seats are thought likely to go to MDC/Tsvangirai. Overall, it’s [...]

4pm Zim time update from the ZEC: MDC/Tsvangirai 96, MDC/Mutambara 9, Independent (Moyo) 1, Zanu PF 94. 7 seats still to declare, so Zanu-PF could reach 101, or potentially 104 once the 3 seats that need to go to by-elections have been run. MDC combined have 105. Barring any unholy alliances between MDC/Mutambara and Zanu-PF [...]
