ZEC denied Chamisa access to results

Chamisa has charged that the ZEC denied his Movement for Democratic Change party access to the results before the announcement that Mnangagwa had won by the narrowest margin of 50.8%.

"ZEC must release proper & verified results endorsed by parties," Chamisa said.

"The level of opaqueness, truth deficiency, moral decay & values deficit is baffling."

Mnangagwa, a former ally of Robert Mugabe who replaced the long-ruling autocrat in November after a brief military intervention, has hailed his victory as a "new beginning" for Zimbabwe.
