Publication of Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No 3) Bill

The
Constitution
of
Zimbabwe
Amendment
(No
3)
Bill,
2026,
was
published
in
a
Gazette
Extraordinary
this
afternoon. 
It
proposes,
amongst
other
things:

• that
  the
  President
  should
  be
  elected
  by
  Parliament
  rather
  than
  by
  voters
  in
  a
  general
  election
• that
  the
  President’s
  term
  of
  office,
  and
  the
  life
  of
  Parliament,
  should
  be
  extended
  by
  two
  years
• that
  these
  changes
  should
  apply
  to
  the
  current
  President
  and
  Members
  of
  Parliament,
  so
  that
  the
  next
  general
  election
  will
  be
  held
  in
  2030
  rather
  than
  2028.

The
Bill
can
be
accessed
on
the
Veritas
website [link].

We
shall
issue
a
further
bulletin
in
the
near
future,
analysing
the
Bill
in
more
detail.
