EU observers on Wednesday criticised the Zimbabwe elections for being held on an "un-level playing field" as the opposition MDC protested against alleged widespread fraud by the election authority and ruling party.

The EU mission found an "improved political climate, but (an) un-level playing field and lack of trust in the process," it said in a statement.

"Observers reported... efforts to undermine the free expression of the will of the electors through inducements, soft intimidation, pressure and coercion against prospective voters to try to ensure a vote in favour of the ruling party," added EU chief observer Elmar Brok at a press conference.

"While political rights were largely respected, there was concerns regarding the environment for the polls (and) the misuse of state resources." - AFP
