Zimbabwe commission to recount all election votes

HARARE, April 13 (Reuters) - The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission will recount all votes cast in the country's March 29 election next Saturday, state media reported on Sunday.

The Sunday Mail quoted Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) chairman, Justice George Chiweshe, as saying the ballots cast in parliamentary, presidential and council votes would be counted again in the presence of party representatives, candidates and election observers.

The bombshell announcement came as regional leaders met in Zambia to discuss a two-week delay in release results of the presidential election which has raised fears of violence in Zimbabwe.
