Zimbabwe elections delayed

Zimbabwe\'s Electoral Commission said the second round of the country\'s presidential election might be delayed.



This means that the run-off for the presidential poll may not be held by May 23, as laid down by law.



The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, George Chiweshe, said the delay would be the result of logistical problems.



Patrick Chinamasa of the ruling Zanu-PF party said Zimbabwe would not bow to pressure to invite western election observers.



Opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai had earlier said he would only contest if international observers and media were given full access to ensure free and fair elections.
