The opposition has rejected the results, which give more than 50% of the votes to Mnangagwa. The ZANU-PF has been awarded two thirds of the parliamentary seats.
Emmerson Mnangagwa has won the presidential elections held last Monday in Zimbabwe, according to the results released on Thursday by the Electoral Commission, which has indicated that the leader of the ruling party would have won 50.8% of the vote.
The interim president has obtained 2.46 million votes compared to the 2.15 million votes obtained by the leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), Nelson Chamisa, who has reached 44.3% of the ballots.
Mnangagwa has assured this Friday that he feels "honored" to be elected president and has called the unit after "being divided at the polls."
"This is a new beginning, we join hands, in peace, unity and love, and together we build a new Zimbabwe for all!", Said Mnangagwa through his account on the social network Twitter.
If confirmed, Mnangagwa and the ruling party, ZANU-PF, would be the clear winners of the first general elections held by Zimbabwe after the end of the Mugabe era.
The electoral commission announced on Wednesday that ZANU-PF has been awarded two thirds of the seats in Parliament. Then, the opposition responded with street protests in Harare, which left six dead.
The opposition rejects the results

Resignation of Mugabe
Robert Mugabe presented his resignation last November, a week after the army took control of the country.

Mugabe resigned to avoid the ignominy of being dismissed, while a joint session of the lower house and the Senate was held in which Mugabe's ruling party, the African National Union of Zimbabwe-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), and the The main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T), was going to approve the process of their dismissal.
