Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Zimbabwe’s main opposition alliance filed court papers challenging the results of last week’s presidential election.
“We have successfully filed our court papers,” Movement for Democratic Change leader Nelson Chamisa said in a statement on Twitter on Friday. “We have a good case and cause.”
The MDC has alleged that the vote, won by the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front leader and incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa, was rigged.
