Zimbabwe Senate Approves Amendment to Extend Presidential Term Until 2030

24 Haziran 2026Al Jazeera

Zimbabwe's Senate has approved a constitutional amendment that extends President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term until 2030. This amendment also shifts the power to elect the president from the public to parliament.
The move has sparked concerns about the consolidation of power and the implications for democratic governance in the country.
This amendment comes amid ongoing political tensions and economic challenges in Zimbabwe. President Mnangagwa, who has been in power since 2017, has faced criticism for his government's handling of various issues, including human rights abuses and economic mismanagement.
The approval of this amendment raises significant questions about the future of democracy in Zimbabwe. By allowing parliament to elect the president, the ruling party may further entrench its power, potentially undermining the principles of representative governance.
