Politics of Zimbabwe information


The politics of Zimbabwe occurs in a society deeply divided along lines of race, ethnicity, gender and geography.[1] The ZANU–PF party has historically been dominant in Zimbabwe politics.[1] The party, which was led by Robert Mugabe from 1980 to 2017, has used the powers of the state to intimidate, imprison and otherwise hobble political opposition in Zimbabwe, as well as use state funds and state media to advance the interests of the party.[1]

Per the 2013 Constitution, Zimbabwe is a full presidential republic, whereby the President is the head of state and government. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament. The status of Zimbabwean politics has been thrown into question by a 2017 coup.

Zimbabwe has been undergoing an economic crisis since the late 1990s.[1]
