WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Wednesday called run-off elections to be held in Zimbabwe a sham and accused President Robert Mugabe's government of intimidation.

Friday's presidential elections "appear to be a sham," Bush said at the White House after meeting with members of the U.N. Security Council. "The Mugabe government is intimidating people on the ground in Zimbabwe," he said.
