The Senate approved Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which now awaits a decision by the president on whether to sign it into law. Opposition figures stated they will continue their efforts against the bill through legal channels. Defend the Constitution Platform leader Jameson Timba said the Senate vote does not end their campaign.
"The Senate's passage of CAB3 does not mark the end of the struggle to defend Zimbabwe's Constitution. Our fight has never been confined to Parliament," Timba said. He added that the group and its partners will announce further steps under Section 59.
Background on the Bill The legislation would extend the terms of the president, parliament, and local authorities. The president has previously said he does not plan to seek another term after his current one ends in 2028. A ministry official described the bill's passage as a sign of democratic maturity and bipartisan cooperation on national issues.
