Zimbabwe: Voters Sue MPs, Oppose Extension of Presidential and Parliamentary Terms

Voters from over 60 constituencies filed a legal challenge in Zimbabwe's Constitutional Court against the Constitution Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3). The bill aims to extend presidential, parliamentary, and local authority terms from five to seven years and replace direct presidential elections with a vote by MPs. The applicants argue the amendments violate the Constitution and strip citizens of their voting rights. Opposition groups demand a national referendum on the controversial changes.
