Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is completely false. Robert Mugabe was the president of Zimbabwe and did not run in the 2008 presidential election. The candidates who competed in that election were Morgan Tsvangirai and Simba Makoni. Tsvangirai won the majority of the votes, but Mugabe's party, ZANU-PF, refused to release the results for several weeks. Eventually, Tsvangirai was declared the winner, but he did not become president as he did not secure enough votes to avoid a runoff election.
