Zimbabwe’s main opposition party the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) called for new elections on Tuesday after it rejected the result of last week’s vote and called it fake.
CCC deputy spokesperson Gift Siziba told a news conference that the party was calling on the African Union and southern African regional bloc SADC to facilitate a return to legitimacy in the southern African country.
The elections commission late on Saturday declared incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa of the ruling ZANU-PF party the winner of last week’s presidential vote, but there have been serious concerns by analysts and observers on the credibility of the result.
