Just a clear sing of rigged election  

@SADC_News ,@CCCZimbabwe 

Verdict: Incorrect 

The total percentage for results announced by ZEC amounts to 100 percent. According to the message, other presidential candidates apart from Emmerson Mnangagwa and Nelson Chamisa scored a total of 6.4 percent yet the figures amount to 3.4 percent. The total figure thus adds to 100 percent.
