The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has begun announcing official results in Zimbabwe’s Presidential and parliamentary elections after a long delay amid fears of vote rigging.

ZEC started announcing the results shortly before 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) a grueling 36 hours after the polls closed down for the presidential and parliamentary elections on Saturday the 29^th.

Tension had earlier been mounting in Zimbabwe's capital as the country's commission refused to announce the results of Saturday's poll, fuelling rumors that Mr. Mugabe had lost despite widespread vote-rigging, and was planning to declare victory regardless.

A total of 210 parliamentary seats are due to be declared as well as the result of the simultaneous presidential election.

The first six parliamentary constituencies were evenly split between ZANU-PF and Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

Constituency	Movement For Democratic Change (MDC)	Zanu PF
Mutasa South	Tofamangwana Kagurabadza – 8207	Shellington Dumbura - 3409
Mutare Central	Innocent Gonese - 7208	Brian Munowenyu - 2322
Goromonzi West	Ian Makone - 5931	Beatrice Nyamupinga - 6193
Mutoko North	Mati Kazingizi - 3163	Mabel Chinomona - 6922
Chipinge Central	Samson Sithole - 5862	Alice Chitima - 6377
Chegutu West	Prince Madibe - 6772	John Mafa - 3713
