By Own Correspondent| Zanu Pf President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s legal team this morning successfully filed their opposing papers to Nelson Chamisa’s presidential poll petition challenging the July 30 results which declared Mnangagwa as winner.

MDC Alliance leader, Chamisa has approached the Constitutional court alleging that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) manipulated the presidential election results in favour of President Mnangagwa.

After filing the notice of opposition, Zanu-PF’s secretary for legal affairs Paul Mangawana said that the Chamisa’s challenge was based on speculation and not facts.

He also said that the application did not comply with the results of the Constitutional Court and promised to make the opposition eat humble pie.

One of the lead members of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s defence team, Advocate Lewis Uriri descibed Chamisa’s application as “political rhetoric packaged in an affidavit” which will be dismissed.

Said Uriri,

“They are no more than clowns coming to court to play a game that ought to be played elsewhere.

This is a waste of the time of the people of Zimbabwe, yet it is their right to be heard,”
