MDC wins key by-election

It is reported that Zimbabwe's main opposition party has retained its parliamentary seat in a key by-election in Harare’s Budiriro constituency. State radio reports that the main faction of the divided opposition Movement for Democratic Change polled more than seven-thousand votes on Saturday’s election, against less than four-thousand for President Robert Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party. A smaller MDC camp only managed 504 votes. Last week Mugabe vowed to defeat the MDC.
