2018 Zimbabwean general election

The 2018 Zimbabwean general election, held on July 30, 2018, was a significant event to choose the country's President and Parliament members. Following years of economic struggles and political change, the election marked the end of Robert Mugabe’s long rule, with Emmerson Mnangagwa running as the main candidate for ZANU-PF. Despite some concerns about fairness and transparency, Mnangagwa won the presidency with about 50.8% of the vote, and his party secured a majority in Parliament. The election aimed to symbolize a move towards stability and economic revival, though it faced scrutiny over electoral procedures.
