Emmerson Mnangagwa has said
MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa and his legal team should not be too enthusiastic about the Presidential election petition they filed at the Constitutional Court last week.

Mnangagwa has also urged Chamisa to consider the consequences that may ensue from the success or failure of the Presidential election challenge.

Chamisa is disputing  the results of the Presidential election citing irregularities within the voting process.

In his heads of arguments
filed and served today, Mnangagwa said: “The disappointment naturally felt by a candidate, his election agent, and supporters, on his failure to secure victory, often causes a keen desire to appeal to the law.

The sting of defeat is hard to bear … but everyone aiding or concerned in the presentation of an election petition, should carefully
consider and be advised upon the
whole position, before adopting so
serious a step, and should well weigh
all the consequences that may ensue
from either the success or failure of a petition.

There is no legal proceeding
which is more far-reaching in its
effects, which excites a greater
amount of animosity, personal feeling and hostility”
