The ongoing delay in releasing more 'official' results by the ZEC is surely indicative of only one thing. Results for six constituencies have been released showing an even split between Mugabe and the MDC.

The question is, will Mugabe try to 'fix' it (probably too big a job to be in any way convincing), or simply ignore it. Is he trying to engineer a 'run off' allowing him time to 'regroup'? Will the delay provoke the MDC into making a full, unilateral declaration of victory? - giving him an excuse to deal with it as a de facto Coup D'etat in the hope this would allow him to sidestep the issue. It's hard to see this ending well.

The jig is up, it's time to step down, now, while he still can.
