HARARE, June 28 (Reuters) - A candidate for Zimbabwe's MDC has defeated President Robert Mugabe's information minister in one of three parliamentary by-elections held on the same day as the country's presidential run-off, an opposition spokesman said on Saturday. "Our candidate, Samuel Sndla Khumalo, has won the Mpopoma-Pelandaba constituency by-election, defeating ZANU-PF's Sikhanyiso Ndlovu by 3,795 votes to 1,354 votes," Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa said. The by-election was one of three held at the same time as the run-off vote in which Mugabe was the only candidate. (Reporting by Nelson Banya; Editing by Charles Dick)
