Mugabe trying to 'steal election'

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is trying "to steal the election", over three weeks after the disputed poll, UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband says.
In a strongly-worded House of Commons statement, he said: "No-one can have any faith in this recount."

David Miliband has been outspoken about the 29 March elections


He accused Mr Mugabe and his Zanu-PF party of having "unleashed a campaign of violence" against Zimbabweans who voted against him.
The outcome of a partial recount of the disputed elections has been delayed.
Electoral officials began the recount in 23 out of 210 seats on Saturday and said it would take three days.
The MDC opposition, led by Morgan Tsvangirai, says the recount is illegal and claims it beat Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF outright in the 29 March polls.
And Mr Miliband has cast doubt on the security of the ballot boxes held by the authorities since polling day, noting that election officials have been arrested.
"The constitutional crisis in Zimbabwe continues as President Mugabe persists in his ambition to steal the election," he said in a written statement.
"Most worryingly, President Mugabe and his Zanu-PF party have unleashed a campaign of violence against those ordinary Zimbabweans, 60% of them, who in spite of everything, voted against him."
