Zimbabwe hopes to join the UN Security Council for 2027-2028 after the cabinet approved plans for its campaign. Information Minister Muswere told reporters that both SADC regional groups backed the country. President Mnangagwa will start the official campaign this September when he visits New York for UN meetings. The nation last served on the council over thirty years ago, during 1991-1992. Zimbabwe believes this effort shows its support for world peace.
The minister thinks winning would help change how other countries see Zimbabwe. They must compete against other African nations for one of two spots open to the continent. All UN countries will vote on members around mid-2026. Both African Union members agreed Zimbabwe should try for the position. The campaign matters because Security Council members help decide major world issues.
