Harare - Zimbabwe's authorities banned on Friday all political rallies in the capital Harare as tensions ran high in the country following the disputed March 29 presidential election, police said.

"It's true that we have banned political rallies," police spokesperson Wayne Bvudzijena told AFP. "We see no reason for rallies since we have had elections."

The spokesperson would not explain the decision further, saying only that all issues would be clarified during a media briefing at 1600 GMT.

Thirteen days after the presidential election the official result is still to be announced. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has claimed outright victory in the poll.
