The Constitution Defenders Forum (CDF) calls for the immediate withdrawal of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3), saying Parliament’s passage of the bill is flawed and influenced by bribery and undue influence. CDF convenor Tendai Biti raises concerns after the bill passes in the National Assembly. According to the forum, lawmakers did not follow proper processes in considering and voting on the legislation, and the outcome is therefore tainted.
Zimbabwe Independent and New Zimbabwe both report the same core allegation: that the vote on CAB3 does not reflect a clean or transparent decision-making process. While details of the specific wrongdoing are not fully laid out in the available summaries, both outlets present CDF’s position that CAB3 should be withdrawn rather than proceeded with. The reports also indicate that CDF is publicly challenging the legitimacy of Parliament’s actions and urging corrective steps following the National Assembly vote.
