Mugabe claims victory in Zimbabwe elections

By SPA,

Harare, Zimbabwe : Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe said Sunday that he had won the country’s runoff elections, CNN reported.

Zimbabwe state television showed Mugabe making the claim while speaking at a relative’s funeral.

Mugabe said he did not know what prompted Zimbabweans to vote in such overwhelming numbers, unlike the March elections when the divided outcome forced the presidential race into a runoff.

Zimbabwean officials were expected to announce the results of the Friday runoff sometime Sunday.

Members of the Pan-African Parliament observer mission said the election was not “free, fair and credible.”
