Zimbabwe’s opposition condemned Zanu-PF’s resolution to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term to 2030, insisting any constitutional change requires a referendum. The ruling party directed the Justice Ministry to begin legal steps to operationalise the extension. Mnangagwa, whose current term ends in 2028, has pledged to respect the law. Opposition leaders, including Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti, vowed to challenge the move, calling it unconstitutional and warning of resistance against efforts to manipulate governance for party advantage.
