Zimbabwe's government introduced a bill to parliament on Tuesday that would extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term by two years to 2030, despite criticism from a fractured opposition and some veterans of the country's liberation war.
The draft legislation will be debated on Wednesday at a second reading in parliament.
Mnangagwa, 83, is meant to step down in 2028 after serving two five-year stints as head of state, but his supporters want to change the constitution to extend presidential terms from five years to seven.
