The Zimbabwe Election Commission said opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai had won 47.9% of the vote to President Robert Mugabe's 43.2%.

...have an honourable exit," taunted opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai at a press conference announcing his reconciliation with opposition rival Arthur Mutambara, urging Mugabe to end his 28-year rule. Bold words for a man who has been beaten and jailed for his opposition to Mugabe, although they were spoken not in Zimbabwe, but in the South African city of Johannesburg, where the opposition leader has been courting support for demands that the election results be immediately released.
