Zimbabwe's Elections Commission confirmed late last night that Emmerson Mnangagwa had won a second term as president. Mnangagwa received more than 52% of the vote, while Nelson Chamisa, the head of the opposition Citizens' Coalition for Change (CCC) party, received only 44%. The opposition has accused the elections of rigging and voter suppression due to delays. Election observers have also said this week's voting violated democratic ideals. Although voting was peaceful, SADC said some aspects of the elections fell short of Zimbabwe's constitutional requirement and SADC principles and guidelines for democratic elections of 2021. 

To unpack the results of the Zimbabwean elections we spoke to Terry Tselane, Executive Chairperson of the Institute of Election Management Services in Africa and Dr Tinashe Sithole, Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg's Dept. of Politics and International Relations
