The Zimbabwe presidential election held on 31st July, 2013 was in accordance with the laws of Zimbabwe,” said Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku.
“Election was free, fair and credible,” he stated.
Earlier this month, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission announced Robert Mugabe has beaten opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai with 61 percent of the votes.
On August 9, Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) filed a legal challenge to Mugabe’s victory. MDC lawyers argued that the election must be cancelled because of alleged election irregularities.
