ZANU-PF and the MDC have challenged half the results of the March 29 parliamentary election

The Pan African Parliament (PAP) says the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC) has lost control of the election process in that country.
PAP's observer mission says that judging by the mystery surrounding the outcome of presidential results and the unorthodox recounting of ballots, it is evident that the ZEC's constitutional obligation has been gravely compromised.
The observer mission has recommended that the situation in Zimbabwe be closely monitored and called for an intervention by the African Union (AU) and the South African Development Community (SADC) before the situation gets out of control.
The PAP observer team to the Zimbabwe elections says that country has failed to meet both the AU and SADC principles on election observation.
The 20-member team tabled its report at the ninth ordinary session of the PAP in Midrand today. PAP also received the report on the Kenyan elections.
