Zimbabwe: Could Zimbabwe's Constitutional Changes Take It Back to the Mugabe Era?

Zimbabwe's ruling party, Zanu-PF, is proposing constitutional changes that would extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term and alter how leaders are selected. The reforms include extending presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years and eliminating the direct popular vote for the presidency. Critics, such as Blessing Vava, warn that these changes could morph the country into a one-party state system similar to what former President Mugabe attempted.
