ZIMBABWE: MDC statement issued in reaction to dismissal of application April 14 2008

Zimbabweans will from tomorrow embark on a nationwide stay-away demanding their Presidential election results of the 29 March harmonized elections.

Today the High Court dismissed with costs an urgent court application that had been filed by the MDC demanding the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to release the results.

For over two weeks since 29 March, ZEC is failing to release the Presidential poll results, a situation that has caused an electoral impasse as the people of Zimbabwe who voted in their millions have been waiting patiently for the results.

As Zimbabweans it is not enough to just stand by and do nothing when we are facing untold political and economic pain.

It is now time that all the people of Zimbabwe who voted in the just ended elections took the destiny of the beloved Zimbabwe into their own hands as the Zanu PF regime is not going to let them have peace and democracy.

Every Zimbabwean worker, business people, informal traders are being encouraged to stay at home until our demands are met by ZEC.

Every Zimbabwean should stay at home until ZEC announces the results for the Presidential poll.

It is now known internationally that the MDC president Morgan Tsvangirai won the election by over 50, 3 percent.

However, a shocked Zanu PF regime has failed to come to terms with the defeat and is doing everything in its power in order to subvert the people of Zimbabwe's will.

Lets all stay at home in demand of our results. The 29 March elections were for jobs, food and a better Zimbabwe. Statement issued by the Movement for Democratic Change, Zimbabwe, April 14 2008
