Mugabe’s Zanu retains Goromonzi seat in first vote recount result

Zanu PF has won the Goromonzi West seat in the first result of the partial vote recount announced by the electoral commission. The partial recount was ordered in 23 constituencies following the elections on 29 March.
Results are still expected in 22 more constituencies, Zanu PF is challenging the results in 21 constituencies that were won by Morgan Tsvangirayi’s MDC.

Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF lost the majority in parliament to the opposition MDC in the elections held on March 29.
Whilst recounts were ordered in 21 constituencies won by the opposition MDC, after a complaint of irregularities and flaws in the electoral process by Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party, Goromonzi west was one of only two districts to hold a recount were Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF won.

Many people see this vote recount as another ploy by the Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party to reverse the results of the March 29 elections were they lost the majority in parliament for the first time since independence.
Given the current Zimbabwe election laws and the election commission that is controlled by Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF, does Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) have the capacity to rig the electoral process in Zimbabwe? And again if the government’s own appointed people are now rigging votes against the same government, does this not mean then that even Mugabe’s own appointed people also want change. Is it possible that MDC really rigged election results in all those 21 constituencies?
