Court postpones Zim hearing
06/04/2008 12:56 - (SA)
Harare - A Zimbabwean judge has postponed
until later on Sunday his hearing of an opposition application
for presidential elections results to be released immediately,
an opposition lawyer said.
"The judge said he wants more time to look at the papers,"
Movement for Democratic Change lawyer Andrew Makoni told
Reuters. The hearing has been delayed for two hours from the
originally scheduled time of noon (10:00 GMT).
The MDC wants the high court to order the electoral
commission to release results from the March 29 vote. A long
delay has roused opposition suspicions that President Robert
Mugabe is buying time to organise a fightback.
