President Emmerson Mnangagwa has subtly expressed his intention to remain in office beyond 2028, after instructing Politburo members to uphold conference resolutions that pave the way for his extended rule.

Speaking at a Politburo meeting in Harare on Wednesday, Mnangagwa emphasized the importance of unity and discipline within the party.

“We must expose and reject those who engage in political grandstanding, along with those who support them,” Mnangagwa asserted, stressing that any actions aimed at creating discord will not be tolerated.

The conference resolutions, which Mnangagwa has endorsed, propose extending his term in office beyond 2028.

This move would require constitutional amendments to take effect.

Mnangagwa reminded members to adhere to the values and principles of ZANU PF, both individually and collectively, and to follow the party’s line without exception. “We must follow the correct line of the Party, without exception,” he emphasized.

The President also highlighted the importance of remembering the sacrifices of ZANU PF’s fallen heroes and heroines, emphasizing the qualities of loyalty, patriotism, and service to the cause. “Persistence, consistency, loyalty, patriotism, and sacrifice define our service to the Party and are the core of true comradeship and heroism,” he noted.

In conclusion, Mnangagwa stressed the need for ZANU PF to maintain unity and discipline, referencing the party’s Constitution as a critical guideline. “The continued implementation of our Conference decisions, policies, and programs must reflect the party’s commitment to progressive nation-building,” he emphasized.
