Justice Minister Tables Presidential Term Extension Bill

Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi officially tabled the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill Number Three in the National Assembly on Tuesday afternoon to initiate a major legislative overhaul. The proposed legislation seeks to extend the presidential term limit from five to seven years to keep President Emmerson Mnangagwa in power until the year 2030. The controversial bill officially entered Parliament on Tuesday as a constitutional storm erupted over the proposed changes to the national governance structure. The legislative document also seeks to shift the presidential vote from the public to fundamentally alter the established electoral process. This unprecedented political maneuver carries massive future potential for severe constitutional crises and widespread civil unrest.
