While the Mongolian electoral authority has yet to release official results of Sunday's vote, preliminary results suggest that the ruling party won a healthy majority of 46 of the 76 seats in parliament, leaving the opposition with a minority of 27 seats. However, the day after the election, vague allegations that the ruling party had committed electoral fraud began to circulate and triggered two days of post-election riots that left five people dead. While the opposition party has denounced the violence, it has refused to accept the preliminary results and claims to have won the election. To clamp down on the post-election violence, Mongolian President Nambaryn ENKHBAYAR declared a four-day state of emergency late Tuesday night, which effectively bans protests, and authorizes security forces to employ force to deal with rioters. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/reuters/worldNews/~3/324569506/idUKSP3149220080702 ULAN BATOR (Reuters) - Mongolian President Nambariin Enkhbayar has declared a state of emergency for four days, after Mongolians alleging election fraud clashed with police and set fire to the headquarters of the ruling party, state television said on Wednesday. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/reuters/worldNews/~3/324569502/idUKL2540895520080702 HARARE (Reuters) - President Robert Mugabe returns to Zimbabwe on Wednesday under pressure from fellow African leaders to form a national unity government in the wake of his re-election in a violent poll ruled unfair by monitors. http://allafrica.com/stories/200807011047.html MDC Vice-President Thokozani Khupe said African leaders are aware there is a 'big problem' in Zimbabwe that urgently needs to be dealt with before it's too late. http://www.IRINnews.org/report.aspx?ReportID=79017 HARARE, 30 June 2008 (IRIN) - After a hurried swearing-in ceremony on Sunday to cap a second-round Zimbabwean presidential election internationally condemned as a farce, Robert Mugabe may now be setting his sights on new political opponents � this time within his own ZANU-PF party. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AFRICAN_UNION_ZIMBABWE?SITE=NYUTI&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt (AP) -- Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe will not step down and Western critics who called the country's recent election a sham can "go hang," the longtime ruler's spokesman said Tuesday.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/2/hi/asia-pacific/7483286.stm Protesters alleging fraud in last Sunday's general election clash with police in the Mongolian capital, Ulan Bator. http://allafrica.com/stories/200806301236.html African election observers have attacked the credibility of Zimbabwe's presidential run-off on Friday. http://allafrica.com/stories/200806300949.html Whatever rhetoric on Zimbabwe's political crisis emerges from the African Union heads of state meeting in Egypt on Monday and Tuesday, reports on the meeting indicate a growing consensus around demands for a negotiated settlement setting up a transitional government incorporating both major parties. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/Z/ZIMBABWE_TSVANGIRAI_INTERVIEW?SITE=WIMAR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- Zimbabwe's main opposition leader believes the pomp with which President Robert Mugabe was sworn in for a sixth term is a sign of desperation.... http://allafrica.com/stories/200806300306.html Despite pulling out of the presidential run-off and urging voters to boycott the poll the MDC won the Mpopoma by-election while ZANU PF 'won' the two by-elections in Redcliff and Gwanda.
