imbabwe's longtime President Robert Mugabe said Mondayhis party will not yield its victory in elections that, although disputed, wereendorsed by African observers and conducted without the violence that marredprevious polls.
In his first public speech since the July 31 elections, Mugabe spoke at the annual Heroes' Day gathering that honors guerrillas killed in the war for independence in 1980 at a national shrine outside Harare.
Zimbabwe's July 31 polls gave Mugabe 61 percent of the vote, trailed by outgoing Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai with 34 percent.
The 89-year-old president said Zimbabweans voted freely: 'We are delivering democracy on a platter. Never will we go back on our victory.'
