Tsvangirai to pull out of runoff election

DateSunday, June 22, 2008

According to reports this morning Movement for Democratic Change candidate Morgan Tsvangirai has decided to pullout of this Friday’s runoff election with Robert Mugabe for the presidency of Zimbabwe.

The MDC has been subjected to a lot of violence during the run up to the election and South African mediators have been in discussions with both sides. 

Although it’s difficult to see Mugabe going for it, perhaps some sort of unity government is in the works.  We hope to know more soon.

Stay tuned.
