Zimbabwe Election Update

Posted by shonatiger

Sorry about the delay, have been updating on facebook and forgot about the blogs!

Well, we have had results for six House of Assembly seats (remember, we voted for president, house of assembly, senate, and council, on Saturday).. And the way things are going, looks like it will take another week to get everything. Thing is.... Anyone can go to a polling station and see the results on the wall outside... And people have already been collating figures. See zimelectionresults.com

The mood? Tense. Since about midday yesterday, when we had all been expecting that the initial results would be out, people have been getting restless. Last night, riot police were patrolling Harare, and residents were told to stay indoors. This morning, I have not been out yet, but people want to know who our new president is... And that's likely to be the last result announced. There will be unofficial celebrations though, I am sure...

Watch this space.
