Zimbabwe’s ruling party was on track Saturday for a resounding win in this week’s election, which observers said was badly flawed.
The Zimbabwe African Union-Patriotic Front retained control of most rural areas while the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change prevailed in Harare, the capital, Bulawayo, the second-largest city, and other urban centers, results released by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission show.
Wednesday’s election was extended by a day in some areas because the process was dogged by delays. An unofficial collation of the preliminary results by the state broadcaster showed Zanu-PF winning 127 seats in the 210-seat National Assembly and the CCC 67, with the remaining seats still to be called. The state-owned Herald newspaper said Zanu-PF won by a landslide but its tallies were slightly different.
The embassy echoed concerns raised by observers from the European Union, the Southern African Development Community and the UK embassy about the transparency, independence, fairness, and credibility of the electoral process, including undue restrictions on the right to freedom of assembly and reports of voter intimidation.
