🚨 Cabinet has today approved a draft law that would significantly rewrite the Constitution, allowing President Mnangagwa to stay in office beyond 2028 and changing how elections are run. Next, the draft Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill will be gazetted by the Speaker of Parliament. It will then be tabled in Parliament after 90 days of public debate. If passed, it would amount to one of the biggest constitutional changes in years. Here are the key changes: 🔴 How the President would be chosen The Bill removes the current system of directly electing the President by popular vote. Instead, the President would be elected by Parliament. To win, a candidate must secure a majority of parliamentary votes. 🔴 Longer terms for the President and MPs The Bill increases the term of office for both the President and Members of Parliament from five years to seven years. 🔴 Changes to the Attorney-General’s office Under the Bill, anyone appointed as Attorney-General would need to meet the qualifications required of a Supreme Court judge. 🔴 A bigger Senate The Bill allows the President to appoint ten more senators, increasing the total number from 80 to 90. 🔴 Control of elections Responsibility for voter registration and the voters’ roll would move from ZEC to the Registrar-General. A new Zimbabwe Electoral Delimitation Commission would be set up to take over the task of drawing constituency and ward boundaries from ZEC. 🔴 Judicial appointments The Bill removes the public interview process for judicial appointments. This represents a shift away from the current system of open scrutiny in the selection of judges. 🔴 Role of the Defence Forces The Constitution would be amended to change how the role of the Defence Forces is described. Instead of stating that the military must “uphold” the Constitution, it would say they must act “in accordance with” the Constitution. 🔴 Abolition of the Gender Commission The Bill abolishes the Zimbabwe Gender Commission and transfers its functions to the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission.
