Mugabe's election victory challenged by opposition

Just after few days some presidents congratulated the president re-elect,the party of Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on Friday filed an appeal challenging last week's re-election of the nation's president.

Zimbabwe's election commission had said President Robert Mugabe defeated Tsvangirai 61% to 34% in the presidential election, but Tsvangirai claimed the balloting was fraudulent.

The appeal, filed by Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change, asks that the election be declared void, and calls for a new election within 60 days.

Tsvangirai, 61, had called the balloting "a fraudulent and a stolen election" -- and said he plans to mount a court challenge. The United States, the United Kingdom and Australia also called the July 31 vote into question.
