Senior Opposition MDC official Tendai Biti on Tuesday said party leader Nelson Chamisa had won Zimbabwe's presidential election, and alleged that the authorities were delaying the publication of results.
"The results show beyond reasonable doubt that we have won the election Nelson Chamisa, "said the Movement for Democratic Change's (MDC) Biti, who was the respected finance minister in the 2009 – 13 power-sharing government.
This delay is totally unacceptable, "he told a press conference at the party headquarters in Harare.
"We have won the election, we are now daring ZEC (Zimbabwe Electoral Commission) to announce the result, we have an impossible thing."
Both President Emmerson Mnangagwa, of the ruling Zanu-PF party, and Chamisa, said they were ahead in the count after Monday's election, the country's first vote since the resignation of longtime ruler Robert Mugabe.
Zanu-PF has had an iron grip on power since independence from British colonial rule in 1980, and victory for the opposition would be a major upset.
