AI Insight:The vote marks a significant setback for opposition party CCC and a major victory for President Mnangagwa's bid to extend his term in office.
PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has moved one step closer to achieving his dream of a term extension after Senate voted yes to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 after its third reading. The vote saw 23 senators from the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) voting in favour of the bill, despite the opposition party's earlier warnings against supporting the amendment. The Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 seeks to extend the president's term in office from five to seven years, paving the way for Mnangagwa to potentially serve two more terms. The bill's passage through the Senate marks a significant milestone in the president's bid to consolidate power and extend his tenure in office, sparking concerns about the erosion of democratic institutions and the rule of law in Zimbabwe.
