Zimbabwe says opposition gets more votes but runoff needed

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Electoral officials say Zimbabwe's opposition leader won 47.9 percent of votes in presidential elections - not enough to avoid a runoff against longtime ruler President Robert Mugabe.

Officials announced Friday that Mugabe won 43.2 percent of votes in the March 29 election. The commission says it will announce a date for a run-off.

Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has maintained that he won the vote outright - with more than 50 percent of the vote - and will not contest any run-off. He has accused Mugabe of using the delay to wage a campaign of intimidation and violence.
