Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Court has declared President Robert Mugabe the winner of the July 31 elections and dismissed opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s court petition for a re-run with costs.

The Court said the elections were free, fair and credible and called for the arrest of Mr Tsvangirai’s lawyers for describing the judiciary as an extension of ZANU-PF.

The Court went ahead with the case even after Mr Tsvangirai withdrew his petition on Friday after he was denied crucial materials needed to back up vote rigging charges against Mr Mugabe.
