On January 17, 2005, a landmark event took place in Zimbabwe’s history as the then-President Robert Mugabe signed the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission Bill into law. This significant move aimed to establish an independent electoral commission to oversee the country’s elections.
The signing of the bill was a notable step towards promoting democratic elections in Zimbabwe, aligning with the Southern African Development Community’s principles and guidelines. Mugabe’s administration had been working towards this goal, and the bill’s signing marked a major milestone.
Mugabe’s presidency was marked by significant events, and this bill signing was one of them. As we look back on this day in history, we remember the impact it had on Zimbabwe’s electoral process and the country’s journey towards democratic governance.
