General elections were held in Zimbabwe on 23 March 1990 to elect the president and Parliament. They were the first elections to be contested under the amended constitution of 1987, which established an elected executive presidency and abolished the Senate. They were also the first ever elections in the country to be contested on a single roll, with no separate voting for whites and blacks.
In the presidential contest, incumbent Robert Mugabe secured his first full term; he had become President following the 1987 constitutional amendments after serving as Prime Minister since the country gained internationally recognised independence in 1980.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/robert-mugabe-zimbabwe-profile_us_5a0b84e5e4b0bc648a0eaf39 A Look Back At Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's Rise To Power Rebecca Falconer Lydia O'Connor HuffPost 2017-11-16 Mugabe's ZANU–PF party won 117 of the 120 elected seats in Parliament.Elections in Zimbabwe https://web.archive.org/web/20190406030234/http://africanelections.tripod.com/zw.html 6 April 2019 African Elections Database
The elections were not free and fair. Mugabe's regime and the ZANU-PF used paramilitary organizations to intimidate opposition, and also abused legislative and judicial powers to stay in power.The New Enemy in the 1990 General Elections Was Zum 2023 https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/election-violence-in-zimbabwe/new-enemy-in-the-1990-general-elections-was-zum/37A63E9EA4E51DAE0D8A7BBB7314BD63 Election Violence in Zimbabwe: Human Rights, Politics and Power 65–93 Kwashirai Vimbai Chaumba Cambridge University Press 10.1017/9781108120265.005 978-1-107-19081-8 subscription
