Harare – The first results from Zimbabwe’s legislative races show President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party taking an early lead and even making some inroads into districts previously held by candidates of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

The first batch of district results from officials with the Zimbabwe Election Committee showed the Zanu-PF claiming 25 of the first 28 constituencies for which results were available, out of a total of 210.

The remaining three were claimed by the MDC.
