Speaking in the capital Harare on Friday, Mr Obasanjo said the elections were fair and free "from the campaigning point of view". The former Nigerian president admitted that there were "incidents that could have been avoided", but he stressed that the AU observers did not believe they could change the overall outcome of the poll. His assessment sharply contrasted to that by the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) - the largest group of domestic monitors.
It said on Thursday that the
elections were "seriously
compromised", with as many as a million people being unable to cast their ballots. The ZESN said potential voters were much more likely to be turned away from polling stations in urban areas, where support for Mr Tsvangirai is strong, than in President Mugabe's rural strongholds. The group also alleged significant registration irregularities before the poll.
But speaking to al-Jazeera, Mr
Obasanjo questioned ZESN's
conclusions, describing them as "not verifiable". He said he was satisfied that the apparent anomalies between
registration between urban and rural voters mentioned by ZESN had been explained by the registrar-general, who had the accurate figures for birth and death. Mr Obasanjo also said that Mr Tsvangirai's camp should have addressed concerns about the electoral roll before the vote - not after.
