Zimbabwe Court Affirms Mnangagwa's Election Victory
The main opposition party alleged that authorities had falsified the results, which gave President Emmerson Mnangagwa a slim majority. But the court said those claims weren't sufficiently backed up.
Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa's win at the ballot box some three weeks ago has now been confirmed in a courtroom.
The country's Constitutional Court ruled unanimously in his favor Friday, determining that a legal challenge from the principal opposition party had failed to back up its claims of vast election irregularities.
The decision deals a blow to the Movement that there had been "a deliberate attempt to suppress and frustrate" some of his likely voters.
