Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>OPPOSITION Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has rejected Zimbabwe\u2019s general election results vowing his party will not wait five more years to take action.<\/p>\n

Chamisa did not disclose how his party plans to redress their concerns simply stating they will be forming the \u201cnext government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chamisa said his party\u2019s V11s show that he won the Presidential polls and were not aligning with ZEC\u2019s V23s which \u201care not backed by facts\u201d.<\/p>\n

The CCC leader added the data was engineered and does not reflect the will of the electorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that we are rejecting the election as a sham. The results and the process itself, we disregard it in line with what SADC has said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reject this sham result, flawed process based on the disputed figures. We have V11s from across the nation and these will be the basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have won this election, we are in the lead and we are even surprised why Mnangagwa was declared the winner because he is not,\u201d Chamisa said.<\/p>\n

He added that his party will be taking action soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is going to be change in Zimbabwe, whether Zanu PF wants it or not. It is not going to be easy but there shall be change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not wait for five years, there has to be change now and we are going to lead in making sure that change comes to Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever it takes, we must provide leadership. Mr Mnangagwa knows that he has performed a coup since 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cA coup on the ballot, 2017, a coup on the elected leader, 2018 a coup on the ballot and he has repeated again 2023. You cannot survive these for far too many times, this time no further,\u201d Chamisa said.<\/p>\n

Chamisa lost the election with 44% of the vote to President-elect Emmerson Mnangagwa who got 52.6%.<\/p>\n
