A senior member of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's party claimed that the veteran leader had won a comprehensive victory in the fiercely fought presidential election.
"We have won, all of them including the presidential and parliamentary," a top party member told AFP, saying Mugabe had won against his long-time rival Morgan Tsvangirai and that the party has retaken many urban parliamentary seats.
"We have romped (to victory) in a very emphatic manner. We have defeated the MDC."
Votes are still being counted, which could see Mugabe's 33-year rule extended but which was marred by claims of irregularities and rigging by Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
