Harare - A partial recount of votes from Zimbabwe's March 29 general election was delayed on Saturday in a number of the 23 constituencies, said reports.
The recounting was due to have begun at 06:00 but it had still to get underway nearly an hour later in at least three areas.
Correspondents covering the recount for the constituencies of Goromonzi West and Zvimba North both said the process had been delayed while an official also told AFP by phone that the count for Gokwe-Kabuyuni had yet to begin.
There was no official explanation for the delay and a Harare-based spokesperson for the Zimbabwe electoral commission said: "We don't know what is happening on the ground so we cannot comment."
