Zanu-PF approved a proposal to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term to 2030, two years beyond the constitutional limit. Delegates at the party’s Mutare conference instructed the government to draft an amendment allowing the extension. Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi confirmed the plan, which faces opposition from legal groups and rival party factions. Critics, including opposition lawyer Tendai Biti, vowed to challenge the move in court, calling it an unconstitutional attempt to entrench power.
