Zimbabwe’s Senate has passed legislation allowing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030. The bill extends the presidential term beyond the current constitutional limits. Opposition parties have strongly condemned the move, labeling it a “constitutional coup” and raising concerns about the erosion of democratic principles. This decision follows a period of increased repression targeting political opponents. Mnangagwa, currently 83 years old, has been in power since 2017. The extension is likely to fuel further political tensions within the country and draw international scrutiny. Critics argue the move undermines the rule of law and democratic processes in Zimbabwe.
