HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's opposition has challenged election results for about 60 parliamentary seats won by President Robert Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party, a lawyer for the Movement for Democratic Change said on Monday.
"All in all we have filed about 60 applications to theElectoral Court in respect of the house of assembly seats. Theapplications are to ensure that the declarations of the resultsbe set aside," MDC lawyer Charles Kwaramba told Reuters.
Official results show the MDC defeated the ZANU-PF in theMarch 29 parliamentary vote, but ZANU-PF has challenged some ofthose results, arguing among other things that the MDC bribedelection officials.
In its court challenge the MDC accuses ZANU-PF candidatesand supporters of vote-buying, intimidating and interferingwith presiding election officers and other electionmalpractices, Kwaramba said.
The MDC, which tried to get a separate court to force therelease of the results of the presidential election, also saidthere had been undercounting of its votes in the parliamentarypoll, he said.
