HARARE (Reuters) -Zimbabwe's main opposition party on Tuesday called for last week's elections to be re-run, saying the polls were riddled with flaws and calling on other African countries to help mediate in its impasse with the ruling party.

But the Citizens' Coalition for Change (CCC) party did not say how it would seek to force the re-run, refusing to answer reporters' questions about whether it would file a court case to try to overturn the disputed result.
