Zimbabwe's Unfair Election Playing Field

In the upcoming general election in Zimbabwe, there is a perception of an unfair playing field, with the ruling party, Zanu-PF, tilting the odds in their favor. Despite 72% of Zimbabweans feeling that the country is moving in the wrong direction, analysts still expect President Emerson Mnangagwa and his ruling party to win re-election. The slow development, stagnant economy, and allegations of corruption contribute to the dissatisfaction among Zimbabweans. The ruling party has been accused of misusing state resources, mobilizing the law to suppress dissent, and engaging in questionable practices during the election itself. However, external pressure and international observers may not be enough to level the playing field and ensure a fair election.
