FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda According to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party has won 137 seats in the 210-seat parliament, just short of two-thirds.
The ruling party itself said it has already achieved 140 seats in the chamber, but the final results of the polls are expected to be announced later on Saturday.
“We have already gone beyond two-thirds. It’s a super majority,” AFP quoted an unnamed senior party official as saying.
The results of the presidential election have not been officially announced yet, either.
ZANU-PF party spokesman Rugare Gumbo has said, though, that the incumbent president could win “70 to 75 percent” in the presidential vote.
However, the opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who heads party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), has denounced the Wednesday vote as a “sham” and a “huge fraud.” The MDC has also pledged not to accept the result.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called on both rivals to send “clear messages of calm” to their supporters as tensions are rising in the African country.
The 15-member Southern African Development Community (SADC) also asked “all Zimbabweans to exercise restraint, patience and calm.”
Some 6.4 million people, or half of the Zimbabwean population, were eligible to cast their ballots at 9,670 polling stations across the country.
Mugabe has become Africa’s oldest leader at 89, having ruled Zimbabwe since its independence in 1980.
Mugabe and Tsvangirai have been sharing power since 2009, following a deal brokered by a regional bloc to end the unrest sparked after a disputed poll in 2008.
Violence broke out in the last presidential election in 2008, forcing Tsvangirai out of the race despite a first round win after 200 of his supporters were killed in the unrest.
