President Robert Mugabe continues to insist the presidential runoff poll will be held Friday as planned, even though Mr. Tsvangirai has withdrawn from the race. Tsvangirai said he remains convinced his decision to withdraw was right, and he again said he believes the election will be an illegitimatesham. He said his decision has received widespread support from within the region, the continent and the broad international community.

Tsvangirai also repeated his belief that a transitional period and dialogue are the only way forward for Zimbabwe in the current climate.
 
"The transitional period would allow the country to heal," Tsvangirai said. "Genuine and honest dialogue among Zimbabweans is the only way forward. A negotiated political settlement which allows the country to begin a national healing and the process: a, of economic reconstruction" class="hjdict" word="reconstruction" target=_blank>reconstruction; b, provision of humanitarian assistance; and c, democratization would be in the best interests of this country."
 
But he warned there could be no talks while the party's number two, Tendai Biti and some "2,000" political prisoners remain behind bars.
