No joking in a election that was by all indication a clear win for the MDC (movement for democratic change), the only opposition party, that should have one the last election and so on, Zanu-Pf Mugabes party has in fact one by a absolutely huge margin, 71 of 120 contested parliament seat, oh and mugabe can appoint 30 mp's simply by his choice.
Fair eh?
"These were the most free and fair elections in the world,"

I think you meant 67.8%?
At least Mugabe knows how to fake a figure. There's no obvious, 99%+ voting for him.
Not that he should be left in power, of course.

shouldn't he be dead? he's 81 in a nation, and well, continent, that's pretty far from renowned for it's health.

You'd be surprised how much healthcare stolen money can buy.
