HARARE, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Constitutional Court of Zimbabwe will on Aug. 22 hear opposition leader Nelson Chamisa's application seeking to nullify President Emmerson Mnangagwa's victory in the July 30 presidential election.
Chamisa wants the court to either declare him the winner of the election or, alternatively, order a re-run of the presidential election.
His spokesperson, Nkululeko Sibanda, confirmed in a twitter message on Thursday that the court has set Aug. 22 as the day on which it would hear the application.
"President Nelson Chamisa's court application to be heard on the 22nd of August 2018 at 10 am. The evidence is overwhelming and victory is certain," Sibanda said.
Chamisa filed his papers seeking the nullification of the presidential election result on Aug. 9, with Mnangagwa, through the ruling ZANU-PF's secretary for legal affairs Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana, filing opposing papers on Wednesday.
