| 释义 |
The Forum Party of Zimbabwe (FPZ) was a conservative political party in Zimbabwe.[1] The Forum party was formed in March 1993 and was led by a former Zimbabwean Chief Justice Enoch Dumbutshena.[2] It was formed by a merge between the Forum for Democratic Reform (Trust), which Dumbutshena had led, and the Open Forum.[3] The party called for powers to be devolved to the provinces and government expenditure to be cut, for instance by cutting the number of cabinet ministers from 43 to 14. The party soon became the biggest of the opposition parties,[2] and analysts saw it as a serious threat to the dominance of the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front.[3] However, by the 1995 parliamentary elections the party was suffering from internal divisions,[4] with a breakaway group forming a rival Forum Party for Democracy.[3] The party stood only 28 candidates in the 1995 elections and failed to gain any seats, winning 5.9% of the vote.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web| url = http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/2361_95.htm | title = Zimbabwe: parliamentary elections Parliament, 1995 | accessdate = 2009-04-21 | publisher = Inter-Parliamentary Union}} {{Zimbabwean political parties}}2. ^1 {{cite news | title = Still thirsty for change | publisher = The Economist | page = 38 | date = 1993-08-14 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book |title= The politics of opposition in contemporary Africa |last= Olukoshi |first= Adebayo O. |year= 1998 |publisher= Nordic Africa Institute |isbn= 91-7106-419-2 |page= 103 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=aGZTMHix4RQC}} 4. ^{{cite news | title = No competition | publisher = The Economist | page = 46 | date = 1995-03-11 }} 5 : 1993 establishments in Zimbabwe|Conservative parties in Zimbabwe|Defunct political parties in Zimbabwe|Political parties established in 1993|Political parties with year of disestablishment missing |
