The 5th Parliament of Zimbabwe met between 2000 and 2005. At the time, the Zimbabwean Parliament was unicameral , consisting of the 150-member House of Assembly , 120 of whom were elected via first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies. Of the remaining 30 seats, 12 members were appointed directly by the President , eight were provincial governors who were ex officio members, and ten seats were reserved for chiefs . In the June 2000 parliamentary election , the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF) won a 62-seat majority of the 120 elected seats, while the newly-formed Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) gained 57 seats, and the Zimbabwe African National Union – Ndonga took one seat.
The members of the 5th Parliament of Zimbabwe were sworn in on 18 July 2000, nearly a month after the election. ZANU–PF's Emmerson Mnangagwa , one of the presidential appointees, was elected Speaker . Edna Madzongwe , also of ZANU–PF, was elected Deputy Speaker . A number of by-elections occurred between 2000 and 2005, raising ZANU–PF's total number of elected seats from 62 to 68.
