What Singapore and ZIMBABWE Have in Common......
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Robert Mugabe won a two-thirds majority in this week’s elections in Zimbabwe. The poll was conducted amid huge controversy over claims of widespread fraud and vote-rigging. It led to opposition leader Morgan Tsangirai calling the election a ‘huge farce’ and ‘null and void’. But the African Union dismissed complaints of fraud, while another observer urged all parties to ‘accept hard facts’.:p The 89-year-old president, who is running for his seventh term, has been Zimbabwe’s ruler since independence from Britain in 1980. Olusegan Obasanjo, head of the African Mission, admitted there were ‘incidents which could have been avoided’ but said these would not have altered the overall outcome of the poll. He said his monitors noted some apparent irregularities but that they did not constitute evidence of systematic tampering. Another poll monitoring group in Zimbabwe said as many as 1 million of the more than 6 million eligible voters were prevented from casting ballots.:D Mugabe's supporters have rejected allegations of rigging and claimed victory. Wednesday's contentious vote has created fresh uncertainty in a country long afflicted by division and economic turmoil. Mugabe's ZANU-PF party said Friday that poll returns showed that 3.9 million voters cast their ballots.:p The electoral commission printed 8.7 million ballot papers for 6.4 million voters, or 35 per cent above the number of registered voters against the international standard of 5 to 10 per cent. Observers said a significant number of ballot booklets had missing ballot papers and papers without serial numbers.:D:D Observers reported a high number of disabled, elderly or other ‘assisted voters’ being helped to cast their ballots by polling officers who may have influenced them against their free will. In some outlying stations, one-quarter of voters were helped this way.:p Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
