# Zimbabwe’s ruling party, ZANU-PF, has endorsed extending President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term until 2030. This would allow the 83-year-old leader to remain in power until the age of 88. Adopted at the party’s annual conference in Mutare, the plan directs the Ministry of Justice and Parliament to draft constitutional amendments. Critics, including opposition parties and civil society, warn that this undermines democracy and public trust. Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi defends the move, citing continuity and stability for Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 development agenda.
