"There will be no Government of National Unity , there will be no so-called Transitional Authority , Zimbabwe, under Zanu PF's watch will never be a banana republic. Mnangagwa's re-election has received massive criticism after heavy bungling by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission on August 23. The European Union , Commonwealth, United Kingdom , regional body SADC and AU all questioned its fairness.
