EDM number 1884 in 2007-08, proposed by Don Touhig on 25/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Elections, Human rights and Zimbabwe.

That this House condemns the ongoing campaign of murder and brutal political violence perpetrated by the regime of President Robert Mugabe against the Zimbabwean people which has led to the withdrawal from the 27th June presidential run-off of first-round winner and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai; notes with grave concern the vow of President Mugabe that the MDC will `never, ever be allowed to rule Zimbabwe' and his claim that `only God will remove him' from office; and calls on the African Union and the Southern African Development Community not to recognise the result of this election.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
