TL;DR Summary

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been re-elected for a second term, winning 52.6% of the votes in a troubled election. The main opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, received 44% of the votes. The results were released earlier than expected and have been rejected by the opposition party, citing lack of proper verification. Mnangagwa's victory means the ruling ZANU-PF party will continue its 43-year leadership in Zimbabwe. International election observers raised concerns over the environment leading up to the vote, including intimidation against Chamisa's supporters.
