ED staged a coup: Chamisa

MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa says the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission’s (Zec) declaration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa as winner of Monday’s presidential election was a “coup against the people”.

Chamisa told a Press briefing in Harare yesterday that he had overwhelming evidence to overturn Mnangagwa’s slim victory. Zec yesterday pronounced that Mnangagwa won by 50,8%, just scrapping through the constitutional threshold of 50% plus one vote to avoid a run-off.
