Timothy Mapfumo Chiguvare of the People's Progressive Party of Zimbabwe said President Emmerson Mnangagwa will lose power despite attempts to extend his presidency beyond its constitutional limit. The opposition leader predicted economic problems would force early elections before 2028, when voting is scheduled under the current law. Zanu PF directed Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi to advance a resolution passed at the party conference last week that would extend Mnangagwa's term by 2 years.
Chiguvare said Zimbabwe possesses mineral resources capable of reversing the economy within six months under different management. He rejected any delay to the 2028 ballot as impossible, given the hardship it would cause citizens. His party, formed in 2008, aims to restore agricultural production levels.
Zanu PF Information Director Farai Marapira dismissed the statements as attention-seeking by a minor political group. He defended government programs as beneficial to citizens.
