Mugabe's party agrees to presidential runoff

HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Zimbabwe's ruling party said Friday that President Robert Mugabe would be willing to face Morgan Tsvangirai in a runoff election.
The announcement was made before official results of the March 29 presidential race were announced by the Electoral Commission, which has the final say in whether a runoff will be held.

A runoff is required when neither candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote.

Zimbabwe's electoral commission was expected to release final results of last week's election Friday amid a crackdown on the opposition and media.
So there was a show of force in a limited sense and now ZANU-PF "agrees" to a run off after most say the opposition won cleanly. Expect more intimidation efforts and delays.
