Justice Chigumba was briefing the media today in the capital where she reiterated that her office has no official results as yet since vote counting is in progress and is expected to be complete today.
She advised the public to observe peace and remain calm during the period of waiting. She said the public should avoid disappointment by rushing into celebrations before official announcement as some information may be inaccurate.
Chigumba also said voter turnout was between 60 percent and 78 percent countrywide.
She however singled out Midlands province for recording the highest voter turnout amid concerns voter intimidation and vote buying as key driving factors.
