Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe has come under increased pressure to allow the release of presidential election results as his rival Morgan Tsvangirai met with ruling party chief Jacob Zuma in South Africa.
The heat on Mr Mugabe was turned up with a flurry of statements from the EU, the US White House, and the UN.
A judge in Harare dismissed a claim by the electoral commission that the courts could not hear an MDC legal bid to force the immediate declaration of the results and said he would rule tomorrow on the matter.
Tsvangirai, 56, claims outright victory in last week's poll, but the ZANU-PF says there was no clear winner and has endorsed Mugabe for a second-round vote.
ZANU-PF is alleging irregularities and has arrested several election officials for undercounting votes cast for President Robert Mugabe in the 29 March presidential poll.
Meanwhile, a Harare court released on bail New York Times correspondent Barry Bearak, a British national and two South African media workers after charging them with covering last week's polls without accreditation.
