Zimbabwe's opposition leader Nelson Chamisa on Friday insisted that he won the country's landmark election, calling the official results "fraudulent, illegal, illegitimate and characterised by serious credibility gaps".
"We won this election and we are ready to form the next government," Chamisa told a press conference, after President Emmerson Mnangagwa of the ruling Zanu-PF was declared victor with 50.8%of the vote.
Chamisa says he would not attend Mnangagwa inauguration.
Journalists are asking Chamisa to share proof of rigging and how he will "fight" Mnangagwa who has police and military on his side
Chamisa said, "You may think that. We have institutions that support the will of the people.
He continued with the claim that ZEC rigged results and refuses to allow them to verify.
Chamisa claims MDC results show he had 2.3 million votes and Mnangagwa under 2 million, that gives him 56% and Mnangagwa 44%
