Zimbabwe's Constitutional Court is expected to make a ruling Friday on the election results court challenge brought by MDC Alliance's 40-year-old leader Nelson Chamisa, who alleges the elections won by ZANU PF and its presidential candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa were rigged.
Since the results were announced earlier in August, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has adjusted downwards the margins of 75-year-old Mnangagwa's total saying it did so to correct a "clerical error".
At least six people were shot dead by the army in the capital Harare hours before the results were announced. Many others were injured in the shootings.
On Wednesday the Concourt was presented with several election anomalies by lawyers of the MDC Alliance and counter-arguments by, among others, legal representatives for Mnangagwa and ZEC.
The Concourt will either validate the results or nullify them and order a re-run.
