Composition of the National Assembly after the election

The 2022 Zimbabwean by-elections were held on 26 March 2022, to fill in vacancies in the Parliament of Zimbabwe and in local government.[1][2]

The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) won 19 out of the 28 national assembly seats in the constituencies.[3] The elections were regarded as a bad sign for the ruling ZANU–PF for the general election the following year, but the CCC failed to win the presidency or the parliament.[4]
