Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s push for a life presidency was this week endorsed by the Zanu-PF youth league ahead of the party’s national conference.

Addressing journalists in Harare, the youth league’s acting deputy secretary Tendai Chirau said they will push for a constitutional amendment to remove presidential term limits so that Mnangagwa, 79, stays in power as long as he needs to.

Mnangagwa reassigned military personnel deemed loyal to Chiwenga through retirements and diplomatic posts abroad.
