Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn leader Simba Makoni has called for a fresh election in the wake of the disputed re-election of President Mugabe in the just ended harmonised polls.
In a media brief yesterday, Makoni described the elections as peaceful but not free, fair, credible or legitimate.
Makoni said his party rejected the results of the election announced by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission saying they did not reflect the true expression of the free will of the people.
Makoni yesterday said the absence of ultraviolet scan machines to check indelible ink marks on voters' fingers presented further evidence that the just-ended elections were subject to massive manipulation.
Makoni said electoral fraudsters were likely to have capitalised on the loophole and voted more than once.
He said the elections, which have already been condemned by the MDCs and Western countries as a farce, should be declared null and void.
