Zimbabwean runoff gets off to slow start
HARARE, Zimbabwe - Zimbabwe's one-candidate presidential runoff is getting off to a slow start, with just 10 voters waiting at Harare's main polling station when it openedDuring the first round in March, hundreds of people were at polling stations by the time they opened at 7 in the morning. Friday morning, 10 people were at the main polling station in the capital and even fewer were seen at other stations.

Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew because of violence unleashed on his supporters during the campaign. That leaves longtime President Robert Mugabe the only candidate, though Tsvangirai's name remains on the ballot.

Tsvangirai won the first round. But the official tally said he did not gain the votes necessary to avoid a runoff against Mugabe.
