Mbeki, Kaunda and Makoni in bid to cancel run-off

South African President Thabo Mbeki, former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda and losing presidential candidate Simba Makoni have all ganged up to help Robert Mugabe avoid the June 27 presidential election run-off. With Mugabe entering the election as a first time underdog, the trio are being accused of trying to help him by supporting the cancellation of the run-off and establishing Mugabe as head of a government of national unity. The suggestion is that Tsvangirai takes the post of Prime Minister, much the same way as happened in Kenya.
