Zanu PF Harare province says the Constitution should be amended
to allow President Mnangagwa to continue in charge of the country beyond 2028
when his current term is due to expire.
Provincial chairman Cde Godwills Masimirembwa said :“The
most critical issue which comes is that the Constitution of Zimbabwe must be
amended to enable him to continue to lead beyond 2028. We are aware that there
are constitutional limitations; first of all, it says the President serves for
a maximum of two terms of five years each. There is that window of extending
the number of years for each term, or tentatively we can remove the term limit
from two terms to three terms or scrap the term limit altogether.”
“That as well could be amended to ensure that the
incumbent, in other words President Mnangagwa, benefits from any constitutional
amendment which increases the number of years of a term or which scraps term
limits”.
