Zimbabwe’s opposition parties condemn the newly enacted Constitutional Amendment Act No. 3, calling it a major setback for democracy and vowing to challenge the law in the Constitutional Court. The measure follows President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s assent to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which completes the legislative process and allows the constitutional changes set out in the bill to take effect. According to reports, the amendment includes changes that extend the terms of Parliament, among other constitutional modifications. While the opposition argues the act undermines democratic governance, the sources agree that the government has proceeded through the formal assent stage, making the statute law. The opposition’s next step is a legal challenge, though the specific grounds for the court case are not detailed in the available summaries. Both outlets frame the controversy around the political impact of the amendment and the opposition’s intention to seek judicial review, indicating the dispute is likely to move from parliament and public debate to the constitutional litigation process.
