"Zimbabwe's President Faces Backlash Over Proposed Constitutional Changes. In a move that has sparked widespread criticism, Zimbabwe's ruling party has unveiled a proposal that would grant President Emmerson Mnangagwa a two-year extension of his term and abolish direct presidential elections. The proposed constitutional changes, which have yet to be voted on, have been met with fierce opposition from opposition parties and human rights groups, who argue that they would further entrench the president's power and undermine democratic institutions. The move has raised concerns about the erosion of democratic norms in Zimbabwe, where the government has faced criticism for its handling of human rights and the economy."
The proposal would extend Emmerson Mnangagwa's term by two years and scrap direct presidential elections.
