Low Turnout Reported in Zimbabwe Runoff

By VOA News

Witnesses are reporting low voter turnout in Zimbabwe, where President Robert Mugabe is the only candidate taking part in Friday's controversial presidential runoff.

Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew from the race earlier this week, saying violence against his supporters made the vote impossible. At a news conference in the capital, Harare Friday, he denounced the runoff as an "exercise in mass intimidation."

Earlier, he urged supporters to boycott the poll but said they should vote if their lives were in danger.
