Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Self-exiled former Cabinet Minister Saviour Kasukuwere has said the election results from the 2023 Harmonised Elections do not reflect the will of the people of Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission on Saturday night, declared ZANU PF\u2019s Emmerson Mnangagwa the winner of elections held on 23 and 24 August.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere was disqualified from the presidential race by the High Court and the Supreme Court upheld the judgement. Speaking to SABC News, Kasukuwere said:<\/p>\n

The results are pre-determined outcomes especially how we have seen arrangements done in the beginning, where opponents were chosen and others disqualified in various strategies.<\/p>\n

We are not surprised because the region (Southern African Development Community) was saying that Mnangagwa must have a Second Term.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, 27 August, Mnangagwa rejected allegations by the opposition that the 2023 presidential election was rigged in his favour.<\/p>\n

He also said observer missions that criticised the country\u2019s laws \u201coverstepped\u201d their mandate.<\/p>\n

Last week, SADC observer mission head Nevers Mumba said some parts of the electoral process fell short of standards.<\/p>\n

He criticised Zimbabwe\u2019s \u201cPatriotic Act\u201d which is a new section of the amended criminal law that punishes Zimbabweans for conniving with foreigners to push for sanctions and foreign military intervention.<\/p>\n
