Am not Seeking Third Term – President Mnangagwa

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has stated that he will not seek re-election for a third term, emphasizing that there is no evidence to suggest that he or the ruling party, ZANU PF, have any intention of violating the country’s constitution. President Mnangagwa’s term is set to end in 2028, upon which his party will go to Congress and choose his successor as he takes a well-deserved rest. The President made the announcement yesterday during his address at the commissioning of the Mutare Fruit Juice and Water Processing Plant.

President Mnangagwa affirmed that both the Party and National Constitutions limit him to two terms, and there is no desire to amend these “sacred books” from either side, indicating his commitment to respecting the constitutional term limits.
