The presidential election results are yet to be released in Zimbabwe but tension is already mounting.
Zimbabweans went to the polls earlier this week to vote for a new president and parliamentarians.
Media reports suggest that it is a two horse race between the ruling Zanu PF and the Citizens Coalition for Change.
But another ugly incident has surfaced as the electorate is eargely awaiting the poll results.
It is reported that unmasked men stormed at a venue were the opposition spokesperson was delivering a press conference.
They attempted dragging him in full view of the camera’s and the spotlight is now on Zimbabwe.
Media reports from that country indicate that the men were allegedly state security agents.
Regional bloc Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) says the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission‘s failure to deliver ballot papers on time dissuaded voters especially in the capital Harare and Bulawayo.
This will likely lead to the questioning of the credibility of the polls.
Election results have been trickling in but the presidential results will most likely start coming through from the 29th of August.
