African observers say Zimbawe election fair
HARARE (Reuters) - Pan-African observers said on Monday Zimbabwe's elections were free and fair but expressed concern over the long delay in announcing results.

But he said the post-election phase, including the announcement of results "remains a concern and needs to be monitored."
