Political conditions
After the defeat of the prepared draft constitution in the 2000 referendum, politics in Zimbabwe was marked by a departure from the norms of democratic governance, such as democratic elections, the independence of the judiciary, the rule of law, freedom from racial discrimination, the existence of independent media, civil society and academia.
Branches of power
Political power in Zimbabwe is divided into three branches - executive, legislative and judicial, with the president as chief executive, the prime minister as head of the legislative branch, and the judge of the Zimbabwe Supreme Court as chairman of the judicial branch [1] .

Administrative division
Zimbabwe is divided into eight provinces, as well as two cities with a provincial status ( Harare and Bulawayo ). They, in turn, are divided into 59 districts, and those into 1200 municipalities.
Provinces are headed by governors, some of which have concentrated considerable political and economic power in their hands. Administrations in the regions are carried out by electoral councils. In some areas, local councils govern, mayors and officials elected.
