Mugabe loses Zimbabwe majority

Harare - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party has lost its majority in parliament, according to figures announced by the electoral commission on Wednesday.

Latest results gave the opposition Movement for Democratic Change 105 seats while an independent candidate, Mugabe's former information minister Jonathan Moyo, also retained his seat in the 210-member chamber.

The results mean that Zanu-PF, on 93 seats with only a handful of results still to be announced, has lost its parliamentary majority.
