By Own Correspondent| MDC Alliance principal Tendai Biti has revealed that the military coup which saw the ascendancy of President elect Emmerson Mnangagwa into power has plunged the country into a militarized state.

Biti said state capture by the military coupled with a rigged election has deepened the legitimacy crisis in the country.

Said Biti:

An election which was meant to pave the return to legitimacy after the Nov coup has acutely deepened the crises of legitimacy & illegality Weighed down further by the twin challenges of militarization and state capture,the Zimbabwean State tethers on the brink.#RiggingDoesNotPay
