Zimbabwe’s Senate has approved constitutional amendments allowing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030. The amendments, which have already been approved by the lower house of parliament, effectively extend his current term. This decision has been met with controversy, raising concerns about term limits and democratic processes within the country. The changes grant full parliamentary support for Mnangagwa’s continued leadership. At 83 years old, the President will now be able to potentially govern for another seven years beyond his previously mandated end date. Critics argue the move consolidates power and undermines Zimbabwe’s political landscape, while supporters maintain it provides stability. The amendments now become law.
