Belfast - Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai reiterated Friday that his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) will take part in the presidential run-off but said the date of June 27 set for the poll was "not on the basis of law."Tsvangirai, who was speaking in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he was attending a conference organized by Liberal International, said the rulers of Zimbabwe were "changing the goalposts to suit themselves."

He said the only date for a run-off that would be in line with the constitution would have been May 23.

That was the "only objection" he had to the announcement by the Electoral Commission Friday that the run-off would be held on June 27.
