Another stolen election would threaten the country's neighbours: Tsvangirai

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai says politicking by Zanu-PF was indicative of a country teetering on the brink of a major political crisis. He said Zimbabwe would slide into a scenario reminiscent of Ivory Coast if service chiefs failed to recognise any election winner other than President Robert Mugabe.

Tsvangirai was speaking after meeting with civil rights leader Jesse Jackson in Chicago, United States, on Saturday.

Tsvangirai said Zimbabwe's main challenge was the refusal by State institutions to recognise the inclusive government and the failure to institute credible electoral, media and political reforms that will ensure a credible election.

The MDC-T leader said another stolen election in Zimbabwe in which losers decide to pickpocket the people's victory would threaten the country's neighbours and put at risk their own political dispensation and progressive policies.
