| Abstract: | The presidential and general elections held in Zimbabwe on 28-30 March 1990 saw a bitterly contested struggle between the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and the Zimbabwe Unity Movement (ZUM). This article reviews the election manifestos and electioneering practices of each side against the background of Zimbabwe’s postindependence development and its class/ethnic relations. It considers the question of whether ZANU-PF’s victory by a huge majority makes Zimbabwe de facto a one-party State. Bibliogr. |
