REUTERS/Siphiwe SibekoHARARE, Aug 26 - Zimbabwe's Emmerson Mnangagwa secured a second term as president at an election this week, winning over 52% of the vote, the country's electoral commission said late on Saturday.
His main challenger, Nelson Chamisa who leads the opposition Citizens' Coalition for Change party, secured 44% of the presidential vote, according to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. Mnangagwa narrowly defeated Chamisa at the last presidential election in 2018. The opposition alleges that election was rigged but the constitutional court upheld the result.While the run-up to the election has been largely free from violence, the police routinely ban opposition rallies and arrest opposition supporters using Zimbabwe's tough public order laws.
