Summary
Zimbabwe’s president enacted a constitutional amendment that extends his rule by two years, according to a notice published Tuesday in the official Government Gazette.
The law formalizes a term extension that lawmakers approved last month, completing the legislative process needed to change the constitution.
The move keeps the 83-year-old leader in office longer and marks a significant change to Zimbabwe’s political timetable.
