The Zimbabwean Electoral Commission has released results of the Presidential elections and confirmed that Mugabe lost.
However, neither candidate officially reached that golden 50% mark which would have avoided a run-off election between the two candidates. I say officially because Zanu-PF have had possession of the ballot boxes since the election. It is an indication of the waning power of Mugabe that the ZEC didn’t make an outrageous declaration that Mugabe was the outright winner.
The reunified MDC will help Morgan Tsvangirai beat Mugabe but even with Mugabe losing his authority, he and Zanu-PF still have a lot of loyal supporters – especially in the Police and military – that will do his dirty work for him.
Mugabe will lose the run-off by a sizable margin but a lot of Zimbabweans will lose their lives on the road to getting rid of the tyrant.
