ZIM WATCH:Riot police in Harare townships amid poll tensions

HARARE-Riot police in armored carriers were deployed in two of Harare's restive townships on Monday night amid long delays in issuing Zimbabwe's election results which have raised tensions.A resident of one of the townships, opposition strongholds, said a convoy of riot police in about 20 vehicles moved through the area."There are a lot of patrols here," said the resident, adding people had been told to stay off the streets.Concern grew that long delays in issuing the election results hid attempts by President Robert Mugabe to cling to power by rigging.More than 48 hours after polls closed, only 66 of 210 parliamentary constituencies had been declared, showing Mugabe's ZANU-PF party one seat ahead of the main opposition MDC. Two of his ministers lost their seats.No results were announced for the presidential vote, in which Mugabe faces the most formidable political challenge of his 28 years in power."It is now clear that there is something fishy. The whole thing is suspicious and totally unacceptable," said MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) spokesman Nelson Chamisa.Mugabe, 84, is under unprecedented pressure from a two-pronged attack by veteran MDC rival Morgan Tsvangirai and ZANU-PF defector Simba Makoni, who both blame him for Zimbabwe's ruin.
