HARARE, April 14 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's opposition has challenged election results for about 60 parliamentary seats won by President Robert Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party, a lawyer for the Movement for Democratic Change said on Monday.

"All in all we have filed about 60 applications to the Electoral Court in respect of the house of assembly seats. The applications are to ensure that the declarations of the results be set aside," MDC lawyer Charles Kwaramba told Reuters.
