The Pan-African parliament observers, one of a few groups allowed to monitor the elections in Zimbabwe, said the one man Mugabe versus Mugabe election was so flawed it should be rerun.

Mugabe will not care much about what the observers say because he never meant for the elections to be Free and Fair.

Robert Mugabe is set to be inaugurated for a new five-year term of office before attending a African Union summit in Egypt on Monday. Where he will confront his African critics and once again take the opportunity to attack Western governments like he always do. Robert Mugabe blames everyone else but himself for the current crisis in Zimbabwe.

The elections have been marred by violence, torture, rape and killings of opposition supporters, which forced opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai to pull out of the elections.

“The current atmosphere prevailing in the country did not give rise to conditions for the holding of free and fair democratic elections. These elections were not free and fair,” said Marwick Khumalo, head of Pan-African parliament observer team.

“Conditions should be put in place for the holding of free, fair and credible elections as soon as possible in line with the African Union declaration on the principles governing democratic elections,” said Khumalo.

Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF party lost the disputed March 29 elections in which Morgan Tsvangirai won but did not get the 50 percent majority vote forcing the election run-off.
