The results of the first parliamentary elections were announced in the week. They gave JANU-PF 144 seats; The MDC Coalition, which is a seat for seven parties, 64 seats, and the National Patriotic Front, which has been formed by the Mugabe loyalists.

What does the opposition say?
Referring to the Election Commission of Zimbabwe, Mr Chimisa tweeted on Friday, "It is regrettable that the Zak scam of issuing unverified fake results."

The trial of the court facing a bold claim
Puma Fellaini, BBC News, Analysis by Harare
It was a close finish. Eight months after the removal of Robert Mugabe as President, "Crocodile" simply scraped to legalize his presidency.
But Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Janu-PF party are not being celebrated yet. Zimbabwe's constitution allows the legal challenge to the conclusions but Nelson Chamisa has a big task to prove his bold claims.
There is no place for provocative talk in the court - only hard evidence. Shri Cheema has been criticized from time to time for promoting the capital and announcement of victory.
If their challenge is to succeed, then it will not be through the scenes we saw on Wednesday, which led to the death of six people.
In addition to the disputed results, both leaders have given new life injections to their parties. They have every eager hope to become Zimbabwe.
But how to play in the next few days, it will be a true test of how political leaders are prepared to embrace true democracy - where there are winners and losers but still have to run a country.
What has the mangalagava said?
75-year-old Managgawa, who took over from Mr Mugabe in November, said on Twitter that he was "polite" to win the election.
"Although we can be divided into elections, we are united in our dreams, this is a new beginning."
He called for calm and said that the government was negotiating with Mr Cheema to reduce the crisis.
Mr Managgawa has offered an independent inquiry to get justice for people living behind Wednesday's violence.
He said in a series of tweets, "This land is home to all of us and we will drown together or swim."
After the international alienation of decades under Mr Mugabe, Mr Mangagawa vowed to revive Zimbabwe's devastation economy.
The country suffers from high levels of inflation and high levels of poverty. According to Zimbabwe's largest trade union, the unemployment rate was 90% higher than last year.
What do other countries think?
The neighbour of South African President Cyril Ramaposa - who is the President of the South African Development Community - has appealed to political leaders and Zimbabweans to accept the results of the elections.
The European Union and Commonwealth Election Observers criticized the first delay.
EU observers also said that they found "one-level playground and lack of confidence" in the election process.
For the first time in 16 years, the government allowed the EU, Commonwealth and American elections to be monitored in the country.
