Mugabe trying to 'steal election'
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is trying "to steal the election", over three weeks after the disputed poll, Foreign Secretary David Miliband says.
In a strongly-worded House of Commons statement, he said: "No-one can have any faith in this recount."
He said the "ludicrously slow rate" of the count fuelled suspicion that Mugabe "is seeking to reverse the results".
The world is witnessing "a charade of democracy", he said. The outcome of a partial recount has been delayed.
Electoral officials began the recount in 23 out of 210 seats on Saturday and said it would take three days.
