The elections in Zimbabwe ended three weeks ago and still no official answer has been forwarded to the people. Government authorities still refuse to present the winner and many fear that the delay is a clear sign of President Robert Mugabe’s incapacity to accept failure.

He is expected to speak at a stadium rally in Harare which will mark 28 years since their independence from Britain and the end of the white minority rule. Mr. Mugabe has had few public appearances and comments since the elections, expecting the official results in silence.

The long delay has been also criticized by the United States, as President George W. Bush demanded more vigorous action. “More leaders in the region need to speak out and the United Nations and the A.U. (African Union) must play an active role in resolving the situation in Zimbabwe," Bush said according to Reuters.

 Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, claims he received the most votes with his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) but unfortunately it turned out that he didn’t get over the 50% needed to be declared winner directly. The dispute at this point regards the different claims of the two political adversaries – Morgan Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe who demanded a recount of the votes, as he shows no sign of stepping aside quietly. Mugabe has been using different methods to cling to power for the last 30 years and the new direction his people seem to prefer is not something he can easily accept.

The alleged recount has been going on for the past three weeks.
