Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's party has won the presidential elections with almost two-third majority.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said Zanu-PF had won 137 seats in the 210-seat chamber, the BBC reports.

Meanwhile, Mugabe's rival, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, has already dismissed the election calling it a 'sham'.

According to the report, the country has been torn apart by political strife and is likely to face another period of economic stagnation.

Earlier, African Union (AU) mission head Olusegun Obasanjo had dismissed the complaints of fraudulent elections.
