Zimbabwe’s Senate overwhelmingly approved a constitutional reform on Wednesday extending President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term in office until 2030. The amendment grants Mnangagwa an additional two years, beyond his current mandate. The reform, initiated in February, received strong support from the ruling party. Beyond the presidential term extension, the changes will also alter the electoral system for both the president and members of parliament. Opposition parties have criticized the move as undemocratic and a consolidation of power. The bill now awaits finalization, but with both houses of parliament approving the changes, its enactment appears likely. This decision significantly impacts Zimbabwe’s political landscape and future elections.
