Regional and international critiques of election rigging have undermined ZANU-PF amid calls for a transitional authority to be set up, Regional leaders, like the four million Zimbabweans in exile, voted with their feet when invited to attend Emmerson Mnangagwa s inauguration for his second presidential term on 4 September. Of the 15 members in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), only three leaders turned up: South Africa s Cyril Ramaphosa, Mozambique s Filipe Nyusi and Congo-Kinshasa s Félix Tshisekedi. That reflected widespread doubts about the credibility of the elections. Many experts within the region agreed with the assessment of Stephen Chan, a former Commonwealth election observer and eminent political scientist, that these were Zimbabwe s worst ever elections.
Mnangagwa was declared winner by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) with a 52,6% vote but the CCC led by Nelson Chamisa rejected the August 23 and 24 poll results.
