Zimbabwe's Mnangagwa wins 1st post-Mugabe election.


Mnangagwa received 50.8% of the vote while main opposition challenger Nelson Chamisa received 44.3%.The opposition is almost certain to challenge the results in the courts or in the streets.
While election day was peaceful in a break from the past ,deadly violence on Wednesday against people protesting alleged vote-rigging reminded many Zimbabweans of the decades of military-backed repression under Mugabe.
Zimbabwe's president says he is "humbled" by his win,
"Though we may have been divided at the polls,we are united in our dreams," Mr. Mnangagwa said on Twitter.
