Washington - President George W Bush on Tuesday urged Zimbabwe's neighbours to step up pressure on the government of Robert Mugabe.

The United States and other governments have been calling on Mugabe to release the results of the March 29 presidential election.

The opposition in Zimbabwe has accused Mugabe of withholding the results while he plots how to keep power. It says he is orchestrating a campaign of retribution that has killed some of its supporters.

Bush said at a news conference on Tuesday that "it's really incumbent on the nations in the neighbourhood to step up and lead".

He stopped short of saying that Mugabe had lost. But he added that it is clear that the country voted for change.
