Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council on Wednesday that he was “deeply concerned” by the delay in releasing the results of the March 29 presidential election in Zimbabwe and said that international observers should monitor any second round of voting.
“The credibility of the democratic process in Africa could be at stake here,” Mr. Ban said.
Addressing the same meeting, Gordon Brown, the British prime minister, said it was obvious that Robert Mugabe, the longtime president of Zimbabwe, was trying to overturn an election that had gone against him.
“No one thinks, having seen the results at polling stations, that President Mugabe has won this election,” Mr. Brown said. “A stolen election would not be a democratic election at all."
