BLANTYRE Malawi (Reuters) - Anxiety mounted in Malawi on Friday as the wait for results from a presidential election dragged on, with only 12 percent of votes counted in the three days since they were cast.

Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairman Maxon Mbendera said the delays were caused because results were having to be transmitted by fax instead of email. He refused to be pinned down on when the outcome would be announced.
