“Let me address you regarding Resolution Number One, adopted at the national conference in Bulawayo last year. Those present will recall my statement that the President intended to remain in office until 2028, a stance he has since reiterated recently. The question now arises — why do we wish to extend his term until 2030? Our rationale is that his leadership has been beneficial for the country, and we desire him to complete the developmental initiatives he has undertaken,” said Cde Chinamasa.
He said their
strategy entails persuading President Mnangagwa to accept the people’s offer to
remain in office until 2030.
“If we unite
and speak with one voice, his acceptance will be in our favour. The party has
tasked me as the Secretary for Legal Affairs with implementing this resolution.
I will consult stakeholders to determine the best approach, which involves
amending the national Constitution. Once we have a clear plan, including
consultations with the Politburo and Central Committee, and if the Central
Committee approves, we will instruct the Government to amend the Constitution
through Parliament,” Cde Chinamasa said.
“As for the
President’s decision, do not concern yourselves with whether he accepts or
declines. That is his prerogative. If the resolution is passed and the
Constitution is amended, it will be up to him to decide. We will not be
involved, and I doubt he will consult us. If he does, we will be fortunate”.
ZANU PF’s Politiburo Secretary for Legal Affairs, Cde Chinamasa, affirmed the party’s unwavering commitment to Resolution Number 1, which mandated a term extension for President Dr ED Mnangagwa until 2030.
