The 2028 Zimbabwean general election is scheduled to be held in 2028 in Zimbabwe to elect the president, members of the National Assembly and Senate, and local government officials. The elections are expected to be harmonised, meaning presidential, parliamentary, and local polls will occur simultaneously, as per the Constitution of Zimbabwe. Incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa of the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF) is constitutionally ineligible to seek a third term, having been elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2023. However, ongoing discussions within ZANU–PF and the political arena have focused on potential constitutional amendments to extend Mnangagwa's tenure until 2030 or allow him to run again, potentially postponing or altering the electoral process. These proposals have sparked debates about democratic backsliding, opposition fragmentation, and the role of figures like Sengezo Tshabangu in shaping the political landscape.
