Bunge la Zimbabwe limepitisha muswada unaoweza kumruhusu Rais Emmerson Mnangagwa kuendelea madarakani hadi mwaka 2030, ukiongeza muda wa urais kutoka miaka mitano hadi saba. Muswada huo pia unashauri kuahirisha uchaguzi mkuu uliopangwa kwa mwaka 2028 hadi 2030 na kubadilisha mchakato wa uchaguzi wa rais kuwa wa wabunge badala ya wananchi.
