Zimbabwe, Updates and a Correction

First, the opposition won an absolute majority, as I said yesterday. It appears that the MDC Tsvangirai has 99 seats, MDC Mutambara (a sort of a splinter faction, but not fully a separate party) has 10, and Zanu-PF has 97, with one independent, out of 210 seats (3 seats had the winners die before the election and are empty).

The entire MDC Tsvangirai/MDC Mutambara has me confuse, but it appears that they are the same party, they just don't get along, so they have an outright majority.

There is also an upper house, and results have been delayed, but this is rather a more complex system than the Parliament.

Still no results in the presidential election, a runnoff is expected, along with a lot of unrest.

The original calculation of 50.3% for Tsvangirai appears to have been a miscalculation.
