Question

President Mugabe was popular but also used unfair practices in elections-justify the statement

Answer 1

(i) The President of Zimbabwe is the head of the state of Zimbabwe. In 1987, Robert Mugabe becomes the president and he revises the Constitution to make himself Executive President. President Mugabe is popular but also uses unfair practices in elections. Opposition party workers are harassed, public protest and demonstration against the government are declared illegal, both print and electronic media are controlled by the government. The government has pressurised judges to give verdict in favour of the government. The example of Zimbabwe shows that popular approval of the rulers is necessary in a democracy, but it is not sufficient. A democratic government cannot do whatever it likes, simply because it has won the election. This is the reason for which Zimbabwe is discussed here. (ii) Our country is democratic and elections are by and large free and fair.   •However, sometimes we hear reports about use of unfair means, violence and money power in elections.   •These tactics (methods) are adopted by some candidates with criminal connections or criminal background. However, such cases are decreasing day by day
