MDC hopes poll pull-out spurs outside action: official

HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change hopes its withdrawal from the June 27 presidential run-off election will prompt "more serious action" from the United Nations, African Union and regional body SADC, an MDC official said on condition of anonymity.

MDC sources said on Sunday that opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai would announce that he was pulling out of the run-off with President Robert Mugabe. Tsvangirai will hold a press conference in Harare later on Sunday.
