Zimbabwe’s current President Emmerson Mnangagwa won the country’s presidential elections on Saturday by getting the most votes, even though the election had some problems with being delayed.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has officially declared the winner of the 2023 presidential race. President Emmerson Mnangagwa won the election with 2,350,711 votes, which is 52. 6% of the total votes. Nelson Chamisa, from the Citizens Coalition for Change party, got 1,906,734 votes, which is 44% of the total votes. This information was tweeted by Zimbabwe’s Information Ministry on Saturday. For anext ended period, Zimbabwe’s politics have remained under the control of the Zanu-PF party,indicating victory for the 80-year-old person. They have been the most powerful party in the country since it became independent from Britain in 1980.
Chamisa, who is 45yearsold, was very hopeful about winning but now he does not accept the results that were announced by the electoral organization. It is currently uncertain if he will take legal action.
The party he belongs to criticized the delayed delivery of voting supplies, which caused long wait times for voters. They also mentioned some suspected problems with how the voting was done.
The CCC said that some of its candidates were left off the ballots. The ballots also had pictures of the ruling party’s candidates instead of the CCC’s candidates.
The group that oversees elections did not answer those claims.
Voting continued for an additional day in some areas of Zimbabwe, where the voting process began late on Wednesday. The president made a rule that allows voting to continue until Thursday in three provinces, including the capital city Harare where Chamisa’s party has a lot of people who support it.
People thought the polls were peaceful, but they said the election process didn’t meet many regional and international standards.
