Tanzania does not recognise Mr Robert Mugabe as the legally elected President of Zimbabwe because last Friday´s presidential run-off, which was boycotted by the opposition, was highly flawed, Foreign Affairs minister Bernard Membe said yesterday.

Addressing a press conference in Dar es Salaam, Mr Membe said the just ended African Union Heads of State Summit had declared null and void the June 27 presidential run-off election, in which Mr Mugabe was the sole candidate. MDC candidate Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew a week before the poll, citing increasing violence against his supporters.
