Lawmakers must put Zimbabwe first on CAB 3

The Bill proposes far-reaching changes to Zimbabwe’s constitutional framework, including extending the tenure of the President, Members of Parliament and councillors from five years to seven. It also seeks to alter the manner in which the President is chosen, raising profound concerns about the future of democratic participation and accountability.
