Partial results from Saturday's vote gave President Robert Mugabe's ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front at least 49 of 66 seats in the Senate.
Voting was marked by a record-low turnout blamed on voter apathy and the main opposition leader's call for a boycott.
Independent monitors predicted a turnout of between 15 and 20 percent of eligible voters, the lowest in any national election since Zimbabwe won independence in 1980.
Of course, the article didn't mention the "no vote for us, no food" aspect of the election...
