Zimbabwe extends Emmerson_Mnangagwa's term

Zimbabwe>>>'s government has introduced a constitutional amendment bill to parliament that seeks to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa>>>'s term by two years to 2030 and replace direct presidential elections with a parliamentary voting system. The bill, introduced by Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi>>>, is expected to pass due to the ruling Zimbabwe — ZANU–PF>>> party's two-thirds majority in parliament. This move has drawn criticism from opposition groups, retired generals, former civil servants, war veterans, and activists, who view it as an attempt to prolong Emmerson Mnangagwa>>>'s rule and undermine democratic principles. The Zimbabwe — Constitutional Court of Zimbabwe>>> is currently considering legal challenges against the bill. The proposed changes come as Zimbabwe>>> aims to attract investment into its rich mineral resources, including Gold>>>, Galan Lithium>>>, and Impala Platinum>>>, and could significantly impact the country's political stability and institutional credibility, which are crucial for investor confidence.
