No March poll for opposition

“We’ve been negotiating for 10 months now and at this point we’ve reached a deadlock,” Tsvangirai said last night in a telephone interview from the country’s capital, Harare. “We want a new constitution, a fresh voters’ roll.”
The opposition MDC also wants an independent electoral commission and a “fair” delimitation of constituencies, said Tsvangirai, speaking after a rally in Harare’s Highfields township. He had earlier returned from Pretoria, South Africa, after a fresh round of talks with the ruling Zimbabwe African Nation Union – Patriotic Front.
Tsvangirai was summoned to Pretoria by South Africa’s President Thabo Mbeki, who is trying to break a deadlock between Zanu-PF and the MDC after Mugabe refused to delay the polls. The government’s chief negotiator at the South African-brokered talks, Patrick Chinamasa, told Bloomberg the election date won’t be changed.
