On Thursday, the Zimbabwean police said they had arrested 41 local monitors of Zimbabwe’s elections as the opposition cried foul over irregularities in a poll forced by delays to stretch into an unprecedented second day.

In dozens of polling stations, voters braved long waits for ballot papers to be delivered for the triple elections, for the presidency, legislature and municipal councils.

The largest opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), which poses the biggest challenge to Mnangagwa, lashed the electoral process as “fundamentally flawed.” CCC spokesman Promise Mkwananzi said, Delays, intimidation and other irregularities meant the ballot was unable to produce a free and fair electoral outcome.
