propaganda press believes Morgan Tsvangirai is an agent provocateur for big whitey who will do all their bidding and allow them to continue raping, pillaging and repression by holding on to lands they’ve stolen from the people of Zimbabwe. time will tell

2nd April 2008 - MDC Pressroom
President Morgan Tsvangirai has won the Presidential race in an election which has seen the MDC winning in most rural constituencies.

President Tsvangirai garnered 1 169 860 votes, Robert Mugabe 1 043 451 and Simba Makoni 169 636. President Tsvangirai has 50,3 percent of the total Presidential vote and he has won the election with no need for a run-off.

President Tsvangirai, who has addressed bread and butter issues in his campaign, has won the Presidential race, setting the mood and the hope for a new Zimbabwe and a new beginning in a country ravaged by gross misgovernance, corruption and unprecedented economic decline.

The MDC President has won even in those few constituencies where MDC parliamentary candidates narrowly lost to Zanu PF candidates in an election marred by serious irregularities.

The MDC has 99 seats. We won all 12 House of Assembly seats and four out of five Senatorial seats in Bulawayo, 28 out of the 29 seats in Harare and the majority of the seats in Manicaland, Masvingo and the Midlands provinces.

Addressing a press conference in Harare today, MDC secretary-general Tendai Biti told journalists, diplomats and observers in Harare that President Tsvangirai had won the Presidential vote and there was no need for a rerun because he had more than 50 percent of the total vote.

“While the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission is delaying announcing the results, we avail to you these results as confirmed by the figures pasted outside the polling stations in accordance with the law. President Morgan Richard Tsvangirai has won the election and we are waiting for the official announcement by ZEC,” said Hon Biti.

“We see the state media is trying to psyche the nation towards a run-off. Even though we have won the election, we are prepared to contest the run off even though Mugabe should avoid embarrassment by conceding defeat.”

Zanu PF had the misconception that the MDC was made up of urban supporters. This election has debunked the myth that the MDC is an urban-based party. We have MPs in Murehwa, Hurungwe, Makoni, Buhera, Zhombe, Binga, Matobo, Bindura and Mutasa.

The nation, however, is worried Zimbabwe Electoral Commission’s delay in announcing the Presidential election results. In the townships, the government has deployed armed police and intelligence operatives in what many suspect is a move to intimidate the people while the regime tries to fiddle with the figures.

The following is the full list of the constituencies won by the MDC.
