Opposition Politics in Zimbabwe Ideologically, the UANC was regarded as the most conservative and ZANU the most radical party. This was not helped by UANC’s support for the presence of South African troops in the country and a promise to expand of economic ties between Zimbabwe and apartheid South Africa.

THE ELECTION IN ZIMBABWE Considering that the UANC appeared to have far superior badges, flags, posters, hats and other accoutrements we were agreeably surprised that the other parties expressed so little envy. Both UANC and ZANU sent brave volunteers to make contact with the guerrillas, to offer a cease-fire under the Transitional Government, but this had come to nothing when three parties of volunteers were murdered. In this Electoral District the turn-out was 14% of the official estimate of the population. rhodesian.server101.com /election_in_zimbabwe.htm   (13482 words)

The History of Zimbabwe. - U.S. Politics Online: A Political Discussion Forum Unlike ZAPU and ZANU—both banned and operating only from exile in Zambia and Mozambique, respectively—UANC was able to organize inside Rhodesia and held talks with the government during the 1970s. The UANC won a clear majority of the seats allotted to fls in the April 1979 election, and the country adopted the name Zimbabwe.
