64% of adult Zimbabweans trust President Mugabe, 36% distrust opposition parties

Pan African research group, Afrobarometer has said that 64% of adult Zimbabweans trust President Robert Mugabe while 34% distrust the opposition.

Afrobarometer almost registered the same results a few years ago. There are about 7.7 million adults in Zimbabwe with a population of over 13 million. Part of the report reads:

There is more trust in the president in rural areas (69%) than urban centres (55%) claiming that they “somewhat” or “a lot” (trust the president). It is also important to note that the public trust the president (64%) more than they do the ruling party, Zanu-PF (56%).

50% of adult Zimbabweans said they trust the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC). Masvingo province has the highest proportion of adult Zimbabweans (67%) who claim that they trust it “somewhat” or quite “a lot” with Bulawayo province having the least trust (28%). Three quarters of adult Zimbabweans trust religious leaders and non-governmental organisations. Afrobarometer reports that the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority and opposition political parties are the least trusted.
