Police in the Zimbabwean capital Harare arrested more than 50 members of the main opposition party who were canvassing ahead of a by-election, the opposition told AFP.

But police have denied the claim.

The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said in a statement that those arrested were carrying out home visits in the suburb of Kuwadzana, where a by-election is to be held at the end of the month.

The arrested were being held for violating Zimbabwe's stringent Public Order and Security Act (POSA), the MDC statement said Saturday.

Police spokesman Bothwell Mugariri denied the arrests.

"That is not correct," Mugariri told AFP. He said five suspected MDC supporters had been arrested late Friday. The five were allegedly on their way to attack a shop belonging to a ruling party supporter.
