Elections were held in Zimbabwe on 23 March 1990 to elect the President and Parliament. Robert Mugabe of the Zimbabwe African National Union â Patriotic Front (ZANUâÂÂPF) was reelected President with 83 percent of the vote against Edgar Tekere of the Zimbabwe Unity Movement, who received 17 percent. ZANUâÂÂPF won 117 of the 120 elected seats in Parliament, which after the abolition of the Senate in 1989 consisted of the unicameral House of Assembly.
The 120 elected seats in the House of Assembly were filled via first-past-the-post voting in single-member districts. ZANUâÂÂPF won 116 seats, the Zimbabwe Unity Movement won two, and ZANUâÂÂNdonga took one. Elections could not be held on election day in Chimanimani because the ballots printed for that constituency did not include the candidates' names, but ZANUâÂÂPF won that seat as well when elections were held at a later date. Turnout figures include spoilt ballots and thus are not exact totals of the vote counts listed for the candidates in a constituency.
