MDC tries to force poll results
04/04/2008 13:19 - (SA)
Harare - Zimbabwe's main opposition party filed an urgent high court application on Friday to force the electoral commission to release results from last weekend's presidential election, its lawyer said.
"It's an urgent application filed in the high court," the Movement for Democratic Change's lawyer Andrew Makoni told reporters.
"They are saying let's know the results, from an official source."
There has been no word on the outcome of the presidential election, nearly six days after the polls closed.
The MDC, which has already won control of parliament in a simultaneous election, has published its own results giving opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai a majority over incumbent Robert Mugabe in the presidential vote.
