Answer
In the first round of the 2008 presidential election, Morgan Tsvangirai received 47.8% of the vote. This was a significant result, as it was the first time that an opposition candidate had received more votes than the incumbent president, Robert Mugabe, in a first-round election. However, Tsvangirai did not receive the 50% of the vote required to win outright, and a second round of voting was held.
