ABOUT

Morgan Tsvangirai

Morgan Tsvangirai was the leader of Zimbabwe's Movement for Democratic Change.

He won the disputed first round of the 2008 presidential election with 47.9 percent of the vote, but boycotted the mandatory run-off after widespread violence against his supporters.

He was later appointed prime minister, nominally sharing power with President Robert Mugabe – an arrangement which lasted until 2013.

He died in February 2018, three months after Mugabe finally left office.
