HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai will return to his country and start a campaign for a run-off presidential vote against President Robert Mugabe on Sunday, the MDC said on Wednesday.

Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa said Tsvangirai, who left the country on April 8 after a disputed poll, will address an opposition rally in Zimbabwe's second city of Bulawayo on Sunday.

Chamisa did not say when Tsvangirai would return home, but added that he would go on a countrywide run-off campaign after the rally.
