Mugabe threatens rival with arrest if he claims victory before official results are announced

President Robert Mugabe has warned his main rival Morgan Tsvangirai that he will be arrested if he claims victory before the official results are announced in an election this coming week. Tsvangirai told his supporters from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) at the weekend that, despite the ZANU-PF trying to rig the elections, he still expected to win a victory and that he did not have to wait for the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC). This predictably did not go down well with Mugabe who announced to the cheers of many supporters in Harare that “if you breach the law and become a law breaker, the police will arrest you”.

Tsvangirai will address his last major rally today and is hoping to overthrow Mugabe from a 33-year hold on power in the country.
