Runner-up in Zimbabwe accuses president of coup d’état

Nelson Chamisa, who came in second place in Zimbabwe’s presidential election, alleges that President Emmerson Mnangagwa obtained victory in an unjust manner.

The leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change, who was responsible for the opposing group, claimed that the election results on Wednesday were false and emphasized that this perspective was shared by international observers.
It’s not unexpected that these elections have caused disagreement.

During a press conference, Mr. Chamisa, who received 44% of the votes compared to Mr. Mnangagwa’s 526%,claimed that the electoral organization declared incorrect results.

He has not shown proof of his claims yet and he has one week to bring his case to court.

Mr Chamisa declared that Zimbabwe will experience a transformation, whether President Mnangagwa’s party, Zanu-PF, desires it or not. Chamisa emphasized that he would not patiently wait for another five years.

Mr Mnangagwa has ignored international criticism of the election and claims that Zimbabwe’s voting process is just.

Some observers, including those from southern Africa, said that the poll did not meet international standards and the requirements of Zimbabwe’s constitution.
