# 2022 Zimbabwean by-elections

The 2022 Zimbabwean by-elections were held on 26 March 2022, to fill in vacancies in the Parliament of Zimbabwe and in local government.
The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) won 19 out of the 28 national assembly seats in the constituencies. 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.
