General elections were held in Zimbabwe on 31 July 2013.[1] Incumbent President Robert Mugabe was re-elected, whilst his ZANU–PF party won a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly.

The elections were not free and fair, as the ruling ZANU–PF party used the state to intimidate the opposition.[2]
