HARARE, March 31 (Xinhuanet) -- Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) president, Morgan Tsvangirai, and his wife, Susan, cast their ballots at Avondale Primary School in Harare on Thursday during the parliamentary elections underway in the southern African country.

    Speaking to journalists after voting, Tsvangirai said that he was confident victory would go to his party.

    "The people will speak today. I hope the outcome will be an MDCvictory," Tsvangirai said.

    "I think change is on the way. It has always been on the way since 2000."

    He said that the MDC represented national sentiment and its support transcends the rural and urban divide.

    He, however, said that his party was not happy with the way theplaying field for this election had been organized.

    Asked what the MDC would do if it lost the election, Tsvangiraisaid that the party would wait for the result before making any comment.
