Opposition Wins Extension of Zimbabwe Election: Doubts about government honoring ruling [Excerpt] Mugabe and his government have overruled or ignored a number of court orders over the past two years, including two court instructions to halt the seizure of white-owned commercial farms.

Mudede said 2,475,147 voters, out of a total 5.6 million registered, had cast their ballots by 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tsvangirai lodged the court application after charging that Mugabe had deliberately reduced the number of polling stations and delayed voting in the MDC's Harare strongholds in order to fix the election.

Thousands of people were still queuing in Harare late on Sunday, hours after polls had been due to close in the two-day election.
Some people had been waiting 20 hours.
