Harare Zimbabwe electoral officials say President Robert Mugabe won in the country's main cities in the run-off election.

The results, being announced area by area on Sunday, also show a high number of spoiled ballots.

In Bulawayo, for instance, official results showed Mugabe got 21 127 votes, opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai 13 291, while 9 166 ballots were spoiled.

Bulawayo is Zimbabwe's second main city and an opposition stronghold.

Mugabe was the only candidate in Friday's race. It followed a campaign of violence against opposition supporters.

Independent observers had said many of those who did go to the polls voted out of fear.

Tsvangirai had withdrawn because of the violence, though his name remained on the ballot.
