(3 Aug 2018) Zimbabwe's president has praised "a free, fair and credible election, as we have always promised" and "unprecedented flowering of freedom and democracy in our beloved homeland", even as the opposition loudly rejected the results.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa spoke in Harare shortly after opposition leader Nelson Chamisa said Monday's peaceful election had been manipulated and that the results would be challenged in court.
Mnangagwa, a former enforcer of long-time leader Robert Mugabe, has tried to recast himself as a voice of change.
He called the deadly violence against opposition supporters in the capital on Wednesday "unfortunate" and said Chamisa had a crucial role to play in Zimbabwe's future.
"Let us both call for peace and unity in our land," he said.
