S 1 - 2 A1 D I ID RK RT

A political rift emerged inside Zanu-PF as President Mnangagwa distances himself from a campaign to extend his tenure to 2030. Party spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa said Mnangagwa is not seeking a longer term, amid concerns the push is fueling succession battles involving figures like Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Despite resistance, structures in Mashonaland West are advancing resolutions for constitutional amendments. The dispute highlights internal power struggles ahead of the party’s 2027 leadership selection.
