TL;DR
Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has won a second term in office, but the opposition has rejected the result and questioned its legitimacy. Mnangagwa, who took over from longtime leader Robert Mugabe after a 2017 army coup, was widely expected to win despite the country's economic crisis. The elections were marred by delays and accusations of rigging, with foreign poll monitors stating that they failed to meet regional and international standards. Mnangagwa's ruling party, ZANU-PF, also secured a majority in the parliamentary vote.
