ZANU – PF or "The Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front". has been ruling Zimbabwe since independence, that is, 1980. The party has been led by Robert Mugabe, who was also the nation's President, until 2017, after which he was deposed and a new leader who is equally dictatorial, Emmerson Mnangagwa, was appointed as the party leader and the nation's President. The specialty of this party is that it has always won elections
Explanation:
- Zimbabwe has been ruled by ZANU-PF since its independence in 1980. The nation was ruled until 2017 by Zanu PF's then leader, Robert Mugabe. ZANU-PF has always won elections on a regular basis and uses every dirty trick to win elections each time.
- Under Zanu-PF, political development under the country is significantly hindered. Since independence in 1980, Zimbabwe 's outward presence has maintained a multiparty democracy. However, it is effectively always been a "one-party dictatorship".
- President Mugabe is popular, but he also employs unfair electoral practices. Over the years, the leadership has consistently amended the Constitution to expand the President's powers and make him less responsible. Workers in the opposition party are harassed and their meeting interrupted.
- Public demonstrations and strikes are considered unconstitutional against authorities. The right to criticise the president is limited by legislation. The government monitors TV and radio and presents only the image of the ruling party.
- After Zimbabwe's coup of 2017, ZANU-PF voted to overthrow the leader of Robert Mugabe, instead setting up the banished leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa.
