 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Zimbabwe's main opposition party claimed an early lead Sunday in elections, seeking to thwart any possible vote rigging by President Robert Mugabe amid silence from the Electoral Commission and the deployment of security forces.
Earlier people celebrated in the streets, dancing, singing and giving each other the openhanded wave that is the opposition party's symbol.
But by sundown, as frustrations grew more than 24 hours after polls closed, riot police and other security forces were patrolling the capital's densely populated suburbs, according to independent election monitors.
