Zimbabwe opposition leader Nelson Chamisa said Tuesday he was “winning resoundingly” as votes were counted in the first election since long-time ruler Robert Mugabe was ousted from power.

Chamisa, who has raised allegations of voter fraud during the campaign, said that his MDC party had results from 10,000 polling stations.

“Winning resoundingly… We’ve done exceedingly well,” he said on Twitter after the landmark vote on Monday, adding “We are ready to form the next (government).”

Counting had continued through the night after a strong turnout in Zimbabwe’s first election without Mugabe, who was ousted by the military last year after 37 years in office.
