HARARE– Emmerson Mnangagwa of the ruling ZANU PF party has been re-elected president of Zimbabwe following Monday’s harmonized elections in which he secured 50.8 per cent of the total votes cast in the contest for the presidency against 44.3 per cent for his closest rival, Nelson Chamisa of the MDC Alliance.
There were a total of 23 candidates for the presidency in the polls, the first to be held since Zimbabwe’s independence from British rule in 1980 which did not feature former ousted leader Robert Mugabe.
