The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has begun the announcement of official results of presidential and legislative elections by releasing the first batch of parliamentary seats results.

A delay in issuing the results from elections held on Saturday has led to further accusations of vote-rigging by Robert Mugabe, the country’s president.

The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and Mubage’s Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party were running neck-and-neck after the first 24 results from 210 parliamentary seats were announced by the electoral commission.
