Seventy-five senators voted in favour of the bill, while four opposed it. The bill will become law once President Emmerson Mnangagwa signs it.
Power shift
Mnangagwa has led Zimbabwe since 2017, when the military helped remove Mugabe after nearly 40 years in power.
He had previously said he would leave office when his second term ends in 2028. But his ruling ZANU-PF party has backed the constitutional changes, arguing that longer terms will support stability, policy continuity and economic planning.
Critics see it differently. Opposition figures, lawyers and civil society groups argue that extending the president’s tenure should require a national referendum.
