NGZimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signed into law constitutional amendments that extend his presidency by two years, ending in 2030. The changes eliminate direct presidential elections and allow parliament to appoint the president, effectively removing term limits. These reforms, described as a 'constitutional coup' by critics, have drawn sharp condemnation from the opposition, who argue they consolidate Zanu-PF's control over power. The legislation passed both chambers of parliament and was finalized by the National Assembly. Mnangagwa, known for his authoritarian tactics, took power in 2017 after ousting longtime leader Robert Mugabe.
Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the constitutional changes as legally justified and presents them as a formal legislative process, emphasizing the government's authority and the legitimacy of Mnangagwa's leadership. It highlights the opposition's criticism but does not provide balanced coverage of their concerns
