Early poll results show that the MDC has stunned Zanu-PF in rural constituencies. MDC secretary-general Tendai Biti told a press conference in Harare on Sunday that his party had won parliamentary seats in Mashonaland West, Central and East, all strongholds of Zanu-PF.

In Bulawayo, the Tsvangirai led MDC has won all 12 parliamentary seats and 5 out of 6 senatorial seats. In Manicaland so far, the MDC has claimed victory in Nyanga, Chipinge South, Makoni central, Makoni south, Mutare central and Dangamvura Chikanga.

In the presidential poll, Morgan Tsvangirai is believed to be leading and indications are pointing to a landslide MDC victory.
