Did Tsvangirai win 73% of 2008 vote?

President Robert Mugabe suffered a serious lapse of concentration on Tuesday, damagingly blurting out that opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai had garnered 73 percent of the disputed 2008 presidential vote.

Mugabe's slip of the tongue came while addressing securocrates and war veterans at the Zanu-PF headquarters.

Before he was corrected, Mugabe admitted that he and Zanu PF had not done well in the 2008 elections, going on to say Tsvangirai had garnered 73 percent of the presidential vote in the plebiscite.
