Soo-young, it looks like Zimbabwe's ruling party will hold onto power. But the opposition is claiming fraud, and really, it was a close race, wasn't it?
That's right. Officials say President Mnangagwa won with 50-point-eight percent of the vote,... while his main opponent Nelson Chamisa picked up just over 44 percent.
The results were announced in a televised statement Thursday,... a day after six people died in violent clashes between civilians and security forces.
Opposition supporters were protesting what they saw as a rigged general election,... where the ruling Zanu-PF Party claimed a two-thirds majority of the seats in parliament.
The main opposition party Movement for Democratic Change,... had already rejected the outcome of the presidential vote days before it was announced,... and claimed that Chamisa was the winner.
Party chairman Morgan Komichi has in fact vowed to challenge Mnangagwa's win through the courts.
The southern African nation held its first presidential and general elections since its long-serving ruler Robert Mugabe was ousted from office last year.
