Setback for Mugabe as opposition wins Zimbabwe Assembly.

The ruling party ZANU-PF were displaced in the recent elections held in Zimbabwe.This is the first time in Zimbabwe's history that an opposition has got hold of the Assembly since its Independence in 1980.

The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) took 99 seats, while President Robert Mugabe's party polled 97.

With presidential election results yet to be declared, the MDC said its leader had won, but Zanu-PF denied this.

In elections for the 210-member assembly, an offshoot MDC faction at odds with Tsvangirai won 10 seats, according to the ZEC's final results.

One seat was won by an independent candidate and polling in three constituencies was postponed as candidates died in the run-up to elections.
