He vowed to appeal against the judgement, and urged his supporters to remain calm.
He added: “I call on our people to remain calm.
“We will appeal the judgement and we are sure justice will be done.
“Let our people be reassured that we will do everything possible to retain this widely acclaimed mandate.”
