Incumbent Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has won a landslide presidential election for a record seventh time since the country's independence in 1980. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change has denied the election which he will be challenging in courts.

While there was no reported massive irregularities by observers from the African Union, Western nations including the US, Britain and Germany have all cast serious doubt about the credibility of the election results. On the other hand, the South African president together with the African Union had congratulated Mr Mugabe on his win and urged all sides to accept the people's will.

Point 1. 

Would these Western nations had denied the election results if Morgan Tsvangirai was in Mugabe's position of being declared the winner?

Point 2. 

Does the fact that there were no Western election observers from the European Union indicate the African Union is not capable of conducting credible election observation?

Point 3.

Did Mr Tsvangirai shoot himself on the leg by accepting to form a coalition government with Mr Mugabe which may have coerced the West to lessen sanctions on Zimbabwe thus improving the country's economy?

Point 4. 

Most democracy be told only from the Western perspective? In other words can, must what happen in Africa be dictated by the West?

As usual, panellist lets hear from you.
