The United States would question the accuracy of any results from Zimbabwe's presidential election, now more than three weeks overdue, the top U.S. diplomat for Africa said on Thursday.
"We now doubt the credibility of any results that would be released," Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Frazer told a press briefing in Pretoria.
Frazer, who is on a regional tour, said veteran President Robert Mugabe was rejecting the will of his people, adding that the United States backed calls for an arms embargo on the southern African nation.
She also said the U.N. Security Council should discuss the post-election stalemate in Zimbabwe.
No results have been announced for the March 29 presidential vote, while the outcome of a parliamentary poll which the opposition won is also in doubt because of partial recounts.
