Anonymousabout 4 hours ago

Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party has gazetted Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which would extend presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years, replace direct presidential elections with a parliamentary vote, and effectively allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030 — two years past his constitutional limit. The proposal has triggered legal challenges, civil society backlash, and international concern, while the ruling party frames it as necessary for long-term economic development under its Vision 2030 agenda.
