Zimbabwe's ruling party names Mnangagwa as its sole candidate

At its 23rd annual national conference in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF named President Emmerson Mnangagwa as its sole candidate and postponed its elective congress from 2027 to 2029. The party called for faster implementation of its resolutions as part of its national development goal for 2030. Mnangagwa said the party remained united despite internal differences, which he described as normal, and urged a shift from promises to results.
