With over 200 votes in favor, the bill easily cleared the required two-thirds majority and now heads to the senate for final approval. Critics, including opposition groups and legal experts, warn this undermines democratic accountability and should have been decided by referendum. Despite Mnangagwa’s early image as a reformer, his presidency has been marred by economic woes and election controversies. The Constitutional Court recently blocked a legal challenge to the bill, clearing the way for its passage—a move that could reshape Zimbabwe’s political future for decades.
