ZANU-PF has postponed its elective congress from 2027 to 2029 and backed Emmerson Mnangagwa remaining at the head of the party until 2030, thereby removing a deadline for a possible succession by Constantino Chiwenga. The resolutions were announced at the party’s 23rd national conference in Chinhoyi, according to Zimeye.
Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF has postponed its elective congress by two years, to 2029, and reserved the party leadership for President Emmerson Mnangagwa until 2030, according to Zimeye.
These resolutions close the way to a possible succession by Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga in 2027. They are a setback for his potential bid for the party leadership, which could normally have been considered at the next elective congress.
