ZIMBABWE LAWMAKERS BACK LEGISLATION EXTENDING PRESIDENT'S TIME IN POWER. (PHOTO).


 Zimbabwe lawmakers back legislation extending president's time in power


Zimbabwe's lower house of parliament passed a bill to extend presidential terms from five to seven years on Thursday, which would allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030.


Some 216 ​lawmakers voted in favour of the draft legislation, passing the 187 mark needed ​for a two-thirds majority.


The bill now moves to the upper house of ⁠parliament, where it is also expected to sail through as Mnangagwa's governing ZANU-PF party ​controls it through traditional leaders and other proxies who generally vote with the party, Reuters reported.


Signs that ​Mnangagwa, 83, wanted to stay in power beyond the end of his second term in 2028 emerged about two years ago, when his supporters started chanting slogans at ZANU-PF rallies that he needed more ​time to complete his agenda.


The party last year resolved to change the constitution to lengthen presidential ​terms and the plan received cabinet backing in February.


Critics say the bill is a ruse for Mnangagwa to ‌stay ⁠in power for longer, though its backers say it will strengthen accountability and foster political stability.
