Zimbabwe held the presidential run-off election as scheduled despite opposition MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai's withdrawal from the race.

Tsvangirai, who had been expected to pit against ruling ZANU-PF candidate and  incumbent President Robert Mugabe in the run-off, withdrew from the election on Sunday, citing various reasons, including political violences. Tsvangirai on Tuesday submitted a withdrawal letter to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, formally quitting from the race.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said the withdrawal was of no legal effect because it was filed too late.

Tsvangirai received 47.9 percent of the votes in the first round of election held on March 29, followed by President Robert Mugabe's 43.2 percent.
