Zimbabwe’s opposition says its candidate, Nelson Chamisa, has won Monday’s presidential election.
The MDC Alliance said the ruling Zanu-PF party was attempting to rig the vote to allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to win, and the delay in releasing official results was unacceptable.
The electoral commission urged patience, saying it needed time to collate the votes.
The polls were the first since long-serving ruler Robert Mugabe was ousted.
The vote attracted a high turnout of 70% and was monitored by international observers.
