ZANU PF’s Women’s League proposes amending the party constitution to align internal terms of office with Zimbabwe’s recently passed Constitutional Amendment Act 3, according to reports by New Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe Independent.
Both outlets say the move is connected to the tenure of President Emmerson Mnangagwa as ZANU PF first secretary. Under the previous arrangement, the post was expected to be contested this year as part of preparations for elections that had been scheduled for 2028. The parties’ proposals reflect an effort to bring the party’s constitutional provisions in line with the revised national constitutional framework.
While both sources agree on the proposal and its purpose—aligning ZANU PF terms with the 2030 framing attributed to Mnangagwa’s extended term—the available reporting focuses less on procedural details (such as timelines for party congress deliberations) and more on the rationale for changing the party constitution following the national amendment.
