Afrobarometer survey reflects citizens views on Zanu PF’s 2030 plot: CCC

THE opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says the recent Afrobarometer findings accurately reflect a national crisis of confidence in Zimbabwe’s democratic institutions, raising serious questions about the credibility of the proposed presidential term-extension to 2030. 

The Afrobarometer report revealed that nearly eight in 10 Zimbabweans support choosing their leaders through elections and oppose the ruling party’s resolution to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office from 2028 to 2030 without a poll. 

In a Press statement, CCC faction leader Jameson Timba said the survey findings validated public mistrust in the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) and reinforced the need for constitutional protection.
