He accused the ruling Zanu-PF party of hijacking and contaminating his party, the CCC, and announced plans to form a new party.

Zimbabwe's President Mnangagwa secures second term amidst opposition rejection

His main opponent, Nelson Chamisa, has rejected the results and alleged irregularities in the voting process.
