HARARE, August 3, 2018 (MENA) – Incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa has won Zimbabwe's disputed presidential poll, according to the country's electoral commission. Tweeting after the result was announced, Mr Mnangagwa said he was "humbled" to have won, adding that although there was division at the polls "we are united in our dreams", Sky News channel reported on Friday. With all 10 provinces declared, the current president and Zanu-PF leader gained 2.46 million votes (50.8%) against 2.15 million (44.3%) for opposition leader Nelson Chamisa. The election is the first since Robert Mugabe resigned last year following a coup, ending 30 years of leadership. Violence surrounding the election has seen the military sweep in and use live rounds to disperse protests over alleged vote rigging.
