Incumbent Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa won a second term in elections which observers described as insufficiently free and fair. The 80-year-old incumbent secured just under 53% of the votes cast in presidential and parliamentary elections on Wednesday, while the most promising opposition candidate, Nelson Chamisa, came in with 44% of the vote, the electoral commission said late Saturday night in Harare. This secures a second five-year term as president for Mnangagwa, who initially came to power in 2017 following a military coup.
