Zimbabwe Opposition Claims Election Fraud as Mnangagwa Wins Second Term

Zimbabwe's opposition party accuses the ruling party of "blatant and gigantic fraud" after President Emmerson Mnangagwa was declared the winner of the recent election. The opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, criticized the election process and accused Mnangagwa of staging a "coup" against the ballot. While Chamisa did not pledge to formally contest the results, he stated that his party and supporters have various tools at their disposal to achieve their goals. Observers, including the European Union, criticized the election process for voter intimidation and a lack of transparency. Zimbabwe continues to face economic challenges, corruption, and political instability.
