Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signed into law constitutional changes extending his time in office to 2030. The legislation, approved by Parliament last month, also introduces a provision allowing future presidents to be elected by lawmakers instead of a direct public vote.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signed legislation extending his tenure by two years, allowing him to remain in office until 2030.
Government spokesperson Nick Mangwana confirmed the move on Tuesday, announcing on social media that the bill had been "signed, sealed and delivered" after receiving presidential assent.
The legislation was approved by both houses of Parliament last month following backing from the ruling ZANU-PF party and the Cabinet.
