HARARE, March 30 (Reuters) - No results from Zimbabwe's election will be released until 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) on Monday, the country's electoral commission said on Sunday.

Commission chairman George Chiweshe said results had been delayed by "the need to meticulously verify them". The release of the results will come 35 hours after polls closed amid opposition concerns that President Robert Mugabe's government was trying to rig the outcome.

"That is not an inordinate delay. It is a very early result ... surely two days is a fair time in an election of this magnitude," Chiweshe told a news conference. (Reporting by Stella Mapenzauswa)
