Tendai Biti Alleges 'Slow Coup' as Zanu-PF Amends Constitution

Opposition figure Tendai Biti warns a "slow coup" is unfolding in Zimbabwe as the ruling Zanu-PF pushes constitutional amendments shifting presidential election powers from voters to parliament and extending the presidential term. This legislative maneuver sparks friction over the nation's democratic future. Opposition voices, led by Biti, counter that the changes fundamentally undermine democratic processes and constitute a power grab, impacting electoral democracy and future political stability. This consolidation of power by parliamentary means can undermine investor confidence and create an unpredictable regulatory environment, directly affecting business operations and long-term economic growth.
