Oppositors wanted to force people to make the results of the March 29 elections published immediately, and a massive response against the negative of the local Supreme Court to make pressure on the Electoral Commission to inform on its scrutiny work

The Commission only published results of the consulting for the seats of the National Assembly and the Senate, but it still keeps the presidential results in secret.

Government Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front lost the majority in the Parliament with 97 seats while the opposition got 109. In the Lower Chamber there was a tie at 30 seats for each group.

The Electoral Commission promised that after a review in 23 circumscriptions, it will give information on the elections for President.
