a very long time the party that ruled the country for forty years years been holding various ministers positions under former dictator mugabe and last year when we got it was forced to resign by the military he finally took over as the president and he changed his image completely he suddenly portrayed himself as the reformer he opened up the country to investors and he also allowed more freedom more freedom of speech and this electoral process for him was another sign that he wanted to give to the world that he's opening up the country he's been talking a lot about the electoral process that it's been free and fair and according to him also observers said so but the reality is not really like this yes there has been tremendous amount of improvement compared to previous elections in zimbabwe which were not free at all but also a lot of people say there was intimidation here and the process was not as fair as he thinks it was yeah the leader of the opposition called this election fraudulent and illegal what evidence is there for that well that's exactly

the question he could not answer he called in the press today to talk about this issue but he said yes we have evidence our numbers clearly show that i am ahead that i won these elections but then he said i will not be able to publish the evidence now due to strategic reasons and this of course doesn't make him very credible right now right now he has two options basically one is to go to court to challenge with them and he indicated that this is what he's going to do and that section second chance he has is to basically mobilizes supporters to stop was demonstrations again it did not sound as if you want to do that because this possibly also has the risk of having violence outbreaks again as we have seen on thursday heading into this election you were reporting that there was great hopes for a free and fair election the first one in the post my god there how do people feel about how it's turned out. well i talked to a lot of young people today on the street and of course everybody has their
