Zimbabwe hold first election without mugabe 5 months #

You're referring to the 2018 Zimbabwean general election!

Yes, on July 30, 2018, Zimbabwe held its first election without Robert Mugabe, who had been the country's president for 37 years until his resignation in November 2017. The election was a significant milestone in Zimbabwe's transition to democracy.

The election was won by Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former vice president and close ally of Mugabe, who became the country's new president. Mnangagwa's party, the Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), won a majority of seats in the National Assembly.

The election was marred by allegations of voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, and other irregularities, which led to widespread protests and calls for electoral reforms. The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, led by Nelson Chamisa, disputed the results and claimed that the election was rigged.

Despite these challenges, the election was seen as a significant step towards democracy in Zimbabwe, and it marked the beginning of a new era for the country.
