Following the ZANU-PF party being declared the winner of two thirds of the seats MDC supporters vented their frustration on the streets before being violently, and fatally for others, suppressed by armed soldiers.
One Fightmore Mharadze told SKY News: "I cast vote my vote and it has been stolen. We are going to have to go to war, go to war against ZANU-PF."
Meanwhile, observers invited by the ZANU-PF's leader, President Emmerson Mnangagwa had a mixed verdict on the poll.
A US team said the election "fell short of what was needed," citing ZEC's lack of independence, the use of food, fertiliser and seed to buy votes and the ballot design which gave President Mnangagwa an inexplicably prominent position.
However, monitors from southern African states (SADC) were largely impressed, calling the poll a political watershed in the country's history.
The MDC's spokesman, Nkululeko Sibanda called it a dark day in Zimbabwe's history.
He said: "The force used today was clearly disproportionate and unjustifiable.
