The United African National Council (UANC) is a political party in Zimbabwe . In 1979 , led by Bishop Abel Muzorewa , the UANC Party held formal power in Zimbabwe during the short-lived period of the Internal Settlement . For this short period of time, Zimbabwe (which had been called Rhodesia ) became known as Zimbabwe Rhodesia ). In 1980 , during the Zimbabwean parliamentary election, the UANC Party was generally defeated by Robert Mugabe 's Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZAPU-PF) Party. The UANC Party was unable to win any parliamentary seats in the 1985 and 1990 elections. Mugabe and his ZAPU-PF Party have had almost total control over Zimbabwe since the early 1990 s. But, with the economy of Zimbabwe in ruins, Muzorewa has discussed running again in 2008 . SEE ALSO
