Zimbabwe court refuses to block poll recount
HARARE (Reuters) - A Zimbabwe court on Friday rejected an opposition bid to block a partial recount of votes from the March 29 election.
The recount of 23 out of 210 constituencies in the election was due to take place on Saturday. It could overturn the biggest election defeat of President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF party, which lost control of parliament in the election.
"I can find no merit in the application, accordingly the application is dismissed with costs," High Court Judge Antonia Guvava said.
