"Zanu-PF gets 110 seats, while the MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) gets 41 seats," the state broadcaster ZBC announced, citing the election commission’s results.
The country's parliament consists of 210 seats, so 58 seats are still to be announced.
"We are very happy with the results. So far, it shows that the people of Zimbabwe have entrusted ZANU-PF to lead them and we will do our best to meet the people's wishes in the constituencies that elected us," ZANU-PF spokesman Nick Mangwana told reporters.
Earlier in the day, Zimbabwean Electoral Commission said that it would announce the results sometime tomorrow.
