Tinashe Sambiri|Zimbabwe needs credible institutions that can facilitate peaceful transition of power.

President Chamisa was commenting on the US power transfer.

He urged Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration to embrace democratic processes that enable the smooth transfer of power.

“I’ve just been watching the US power transfer, transition and inauguration. I would like to congratulate President
@JoeBiden
on his inauguration as the 46th President of the United States of America and Vice President
@KamalaHarris
for the landmark achievement.

The successful transition of power has demonstrated the importance of strong institutions in supporting democracy. Even when the system has been subjected to severe stress tests in recent times, it is thanks to strong institutions that democracy has prevailed.

Strong institutions treat everyone with respect, including the outgoing administration which was accorded a dignified exit as the new administration was ushered in. Africa must have strong credible institutions! It is vital for transition to be peaceful and predictable in Zim,” President Chamisa said in a statement.
