Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa rejected an offer by the ruling party to extend his term of office by two years until 2030.
Mnangagwa rejected the offer at the Zanu PF Annual People’s Conference in Bulawayo as the party, in a resolution, urged him to stay in office beyond the two-legal term limit, which expires in 2028.
The party’s resolution aimed to implement Vision 2030, a framework for changing Zimbabwe’s socio-economic environment and enabling the President to finish existing development activities.
The 82-year-old Mnangagwa rejected the offer as he reaffirmed his commitment to the two-term limit set in Zimbabwe’s constitution, as seen in New Zimbabwe.
Following Mnangagwa’s stance on not extending his term limit past 2028, the Zimbabwe Situation, a daily archive from Zimbabwe covering every essential and relevant media article since March 2000, wrote extensively on the President’s reason.
However, many of the ‘whys’ focus on legal challenges, upholding constitutional principles, protecting Mnangagwa’s legacy, and considering international and political costs.
