how did robert mugabe's party violated the features of democratic elected government.
Answers
Robert Mugabe took to politics during the early 1960s, and shortly, he formed a party called the Zimbabwe African National Union or ZANU.
In 1980, he became Zimbabwe’s first black Prime Minister.
His rule has been overshadowed by torture and murder allegations, especially those of his political opponents. Most of the so-called elections held during his period are said to have been rigged and political opponents intimidated.
By the end of 2017, the army in a bid to bring back democracy, placed him and his wife under house arrest.
