Zimbabwe: Parties inactive in 2005 and after
Updated July 2009
Zimbabwe has no law requiring registration by political parties. Thus it is difficult to determine whether a party, which does not compete in elections, actually exists in any formal or functional way. Some of the parties listed below may be defunct.
The political parties listed below participated in the 2000, or were founded after it, but did not participate in the 2005 House of Assembly elections or subsequent ones.
