Zimbabwe government

Zimbabwe is a country in Southern Africa, with Harare as its capital city and largest metropolis. The government of Zimbabwe is based on the Constitution of Zimbabwe which was adopted through a referendum held in 2013. It is led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa who came into office following Robert Mugabe’s resignation after 37 years in power in 2017.

The executive branch consists of the President and two Vice Presidents, while legislative authority lies with Parliament consisting of an upper house (Senate) and lower house (House of Assembly). The judiciary includes Supreme Court, High Court and subordinate courts; there are also traditional leaders’ courts for local matters such as land disputes between chiefs or village heads but these have no jurisdiction over criminal trials under ordinary law. Local Government elections take place every five years to elect mayors for councilors for each district or municipality within the country’s provinces; most recently this occurred during 2018/19 when ZANU-PF won 59% overall majority across all ten provinces due to low voter turnout from opposition supporters amidst claims it had been rigged against them.
