Best Answer

Morgan Tsvangirai is the Prime Minister of Zimbabawe.

The position of Prime Minister was abolished by Prime Minister Robert Mugabe on 1987 December 31 who made himself President. During the 2008 presidential election, even though Tsvangirai won the first round against Mugabe, Tsvangirai was forced to withdraw due to political intimidation. In the aftermath of the internal riots, peace was re-established as Tsvangirai was made Prime Minister on 2009 February 11 in a power-sharing agreement.

Robert Gabriel Mugabe was the president of Mugabe in 2009.

Born on 1924 February 21, Mugabe became a leader of Zimbabwe as part of the movement against minority white rule. He joined the National Democratic Party in 1960, which was reformed as the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU). He split off to join the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) in 1963. Imprisoned in 1964, he served 10 years before being released in 1974 along with leader Joshua Nkomo.

Mugabe then went to fight in neigbouring Mozambique for Black Africans emerging as a hero at the end of the war in 1979. In the 1980 Zimbabwe General election, he became Prime Minister of Zimbabwe by calling for reconciliation between whites and blacks. A rift developed between Mugabe and Nkomo, and bitter fighting was felt throughout the country from 1982 to 1987. On 1987 December 31 Robert Mugabe made himself President of Zimbabwe, abolished the Prime Minister position, made Nkomo Vice-president, and merged their parties, creating a one-party state.

Mugabe has continued to act as dictator president for the last 23 years. In 2008, parliamentary and presidential elections were held. Mugabe ended up losing the first round to Morgan Tsavangiri, but through military intimidation, the withdrawl of Tsavangiri due to lack of faith in the process, and blatant electoral fraud, Mugabe was awarded a landslide victory. The current presidential term is 6 years long, and will end in 2014.
