Answer:
(i)
The President of Zimbabwe is the head of the state of Zimbabwe. In 1987, Robert
Mugabe becomes the president and he revise the Constitution to make himself
Executive President.
President Mugabe is popular but also uses unfair practices in elections.
Opposition party workers are harassed, public protest and demonstration against
the government are declared illegal, both print and electronic media are
controlled by the government.
The government has pressurised judges to give verdict in
favour of the government. The example of Zimbabwe shows that popular approval
of the rulers is necessary in a democracy, but it is not sufficient.
A democratic government cannot do whatever it likes,
simply because it has won the election. This is the reason for which Zimbabwe
is discussed here.
(ii) Our country is democratic and elections are by and
large free and fair.
However, sometimes we hear reports about use of unfair
means, violence and money power in elections.
These tactics (methods) are adopted by some candidates
with criminal connections or criminal background. However, such cases are
decreasing day by day.
