The Rhodesian Front (RF) was a political party in Southern Rhodesia when the country was under British rule and later when the Constitutional Parliament led Unilateral Declaration of Independence from the British Empire. Led first by Winston Field, and, from 1964, by Ian Smith, the Rhodesian Front was the successor to the Dominion Party, which was the main opposition party in Southern Rhodesia during the Federation period. The RF was formed in March 1962 by whites who called themselves Rhodesians and were opposed to surrendering their sovereignty to black tribal rule during decolonisation. It won power in the general election that December. In successive elections (in which 50 of the 66 parliamentary seats were reserved for whites only) between 1964 and 1979, the RF was returned to office, with a large majority, with Smith as Prime Minister.
