# Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF party and parliament have advanced constitutional changes that could extend president Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rule to 2030. The proposed amendments would increase presidential terms from five to seven years and allow lawmakers, rather than voters directly, to elect the president. Supporters say the changes would promote stability and policy continuity. However, opposition figures and legal experts argue the proposals undermine democratic principles and presidential term limits, with possible legal challenges expected.
