Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has convened a meeting of his ruling party on how to react to presidential poll results, still not officially declared.A senior member of the party has told the BBC that Saturday's election ended in a "stalemate".
He said the party was ready for Mr Mugabe to contest a run-off.
Meanwhile the opposition MDC says it intends to ask the High Court to order the immediate release of results of the poll, which it says it won outright.
It says its candidate, Morgan Tsvangirai, took 50.3% of the vote - just enough to avoid a second round in two weeks' time.
An independent projection says Mr Tsvangirai gained 49%, just below the threshold, with Mr Mugabe on 42%.
The MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) said its offices in Harare were ransacked on Thursday. It denied that Mr Tsvangirai had gone into hiding and said he was "safe".
At least two foreign nationals were arrested in a raid on a hotel in the capital, accused of working as journalists without accreditation.
One has been named as Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist, Barry Bearak, and the other is said to be a British journalist.
