Harare - Independent election observers in Zimbabwe say police have raided their offices, striking at the same time as security forces descended on opposition headquarters.

Police seized material on vote counting from both offices. In addition, some 200 people were beaten, shoved and arrested in the raid on the opposition headquarters, according to party officials.

Zimbabweans are still awaiting official results from the March 29 presidential election amid charges that President Robert Mugabe is using violence and stealth to hold on to power.

The opposition Movement for Democratic Change and the independent Zimbabwe Electoral Support Network both claim the opposition won the poll, based on their own surveys of results posted at ballot stations.
