Zanu pf wins most seats in zimbabwe parliament zec
According to reports, the Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) has won the most seats in the Zimbabwean parliament, as announced by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) on August 2, 2023.
Here are the preliminary results:
- ZANU-PF: 145 seats
- Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (MDC Alliance): 61 seats
- Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC): 54 seats
- Other parties: 10 seats
These results are based on the 210 seats in the National Assembly, which is the lower house of the Zimbabwean parliament. The results are subject to verification and may be challenged by political parties.
The election was held on July 30, 2023, and was marred by reports of irregularities and violence. The opposition parties have already expressed concerns over the conduct of the election and have threatened to challenge the results in court.
The outcome of the election is significant, as it will determine the composition of the Zimbabwean parliament and the direction of the country's politics for the next five years. ZANU-PF has been in power since 1980, and the party's victory will likely ensure that President Emmerson Mnangagwa remains in office.
It's worth noting that the election was closely watched by regional and international observers, who expressed concerns over the conduct of the poll. The African Union, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the European Union all sent observer missions to monitor the election.
