Well last I heard Charlie was that Bob's mob wanted recounts in around 23 of the constituencies. Now that in itself in anything that was even remotely considered to be a "free and fair" electoral situation wouldn't seem too out of the ordinary, but the following factors have to be taken into account:

- No results have been officially pronounced (The election results for constituencies were displayed outside the polling stations after the local counts but they are not officially recognised)
- Mugabe's Party have had all the ballot boxes under their control now for over two weeks.
- A Zimbabwean Police Inspector has reported seeing Police Recruits filling out ballot papers marked up for ZANU-PF and Robert Mugabe in the week after the election took place.
- The Conference in Lusaka ended up pretty much as predicted - Be patient, wait for the results and abide by the democratic will of the people as expressed by those results.

Mugabe of course will win by a landslide and ZANU-PF will win somewhere around 110 to 114 seats in Parliament after the votes have been recounted.
