1995

Peter Hewlett, ZANU-PF was elected.

This was the first election to be boycotted by some minority political parties in Zimbabwe since independence in 1980. However 55 of the 120 seats were not contested and ZANU-PF was the only party that fielded candidates in all the remaining 65 constituencies.

ZANU- Ndonga won 2 seats letting ZANU-PF collect 118 over 120 seats. Margaret Dongo, a renegade from ZANU-PF, contested her defeat in a court of law and a by-election gave her the seat. At the end of the day ZANU-PF had 117 seats, ZANU-NDONGA 2 and Margaret Dongo 1.[8]
