Zimbabwe's ZANU-PF considers amending constitution to extend President Mnangagwa's term limit.

Zimbabwe's ruling party, ZANU-PF, is considering constitutional amendments to allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to serve beyond his current term ending in 2028. The proposal has divided the party, with some members fearing internal rebellion, riots, and international business disengagement if Mnangagwa stays in power beyond two terms. Despite public commitments to respect term limits, ZANU-PF provincial branches argue that Mnangagwa's continued rule is necessary for overseeing development projects.
