The United African National Council (UANC) is a political party in Zimbabwe.
It was briefly the ruling party during 1979–1980, when its leader Abel Muzorewa was prime minister.
The party was renamed the United African National Council in 1977,[1] but did not contest the 1977 general elections.
Following the Internal Settlement of 1978, the party won the 1979 elections, winning 51 of the 100 seats, resulting in Muzorewa becoming prime minister.
However, the new government failed to win international recognition due to its exclusion of the African nationalist ZAPU and ZANU in negotiations and following the Lancaster House Agreement, early elections were held in April 1980.
