This thesis sought to examine elections and development in Zimbabwe (case of Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe). Regionally, achieving development has been critical by encouraging good governance in African countries. The research used liberal theory with a focus on good governance. The study employed qualitative research as well as an exploratory design. Random and purposeful samplings were used. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data. The questionnaires and interviews used in the study were administered to a sample of forty people. Latent Content Analysis was used to examine the data. According to the study, elections are only a minor factor in development. It only allows for public participation, but the consequences of the elections are ignored. According to the study, elections are not solely responsible for development; other factors, such as good governance, also play a significant role. The study also contends that electoral violence and one-party dominance have hampered Zimbabwe's development.
