"Chamisa‚ Chamisa" chanted a large crowd as Nelson Chamisa was ushered to the front of a long queue and entered Kuwadzana 1 Primary School in the west of Harare on Monday.
Chamisa‚ the leader of the MDC Alliance‚ is in a tight race with the ruling Zanu-PF's Emmerson Mnangagwa‚ who took the reigns from Robert Mugabe in an ouster last year.
"I know that we are winning. We have won this election‚" Chamisa told a throng of journalists and supporters after voting.
Supporters responded: "We are already celebrating. We are ready for this new democracy."
