The leadership of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party is due to meet to discuss strategy and the likely results of the presidential election.

Reports say the 49-member Politburo is split on whether Mr Mugabe should fight on amid claims by opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai that he has won.

The election commission must announce the presidential election result by the end of Friday to meet a legal deadline.

Earlier, there were growing signs of a clampdown on the opposition and media.

Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said Mr Mugabe had unleashed a war after security agents ransacked its offices in Harare on Thursday.

But it denied Mr Tsvangirai had gone into hiding and said he was "safe".

good stuff:

greg1usa, I like this story. It's good stuff. Thanks for picking up where I left off in the Mugabe Saga. I am still awaiting the official presidential results. At the present time, the Senate Seats have been divided between the MDC and ZANU-PF [Mugabe].
