HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe’s opposition leader Nelson Chamisa on Friday said the country’s electoral commission should release “proper and verified” results of the first national election since Robert Mugabe left office.

The commission earlier declared President Emmerson Mnangagwa the winner of the ballot.

In comments referring to the commission, Chamisa said on his Twitter page that “the level of opaqueness, truth deficiency, moral decay & values deficit is baffling.”
