Official Position Statement

Support for Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill

Issued: 10 March 2026

We, the national executive members, provincial executive members, and district executive members of African Economic Transformative Movement (AETM), gathered under the leadership of National Chairman Cde Zivanai Gaza, affirm our support for Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill.

This amendment proposes extending not only the term of office for HE President Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa, but the Members of Parliament, Senators, and Councillors from five to seven years.

Our Position

We believe this change will allow elected officials to focus on national development, rather than frequent election campaigns. The extended term will provide:

  • Continuity in Governance: Longer terms enable consistent policy implementation and reduce the disruption caused by frequent electoral cycles.
  • Enhanced Development Focus: Elected officials can dedicate more time to delivering tangible development outcomes for citizens.
  • Resource Optimization: Reduced financial burden of regular elections frees up resources for projects benefiting Zimbabweans.
  • Institutional Stability: Extended terms strengthen democratic institutions and governance frameworks.

Benefits for National Development

A longer term will enable effective implementation of developmental programs. Instead of preparing for the next election cycle, our leaders can concentrate on:

  • Infrastructure development and modernization
  • Economic transformation initiatives
  • Youth empowerment and employment creation
  • Agricultural productivity and food security
  • Healthcare system improvements
  • Educational reform and skills development

This will free up resources for projects benefiting Zimbabweans and accelerate our nation's progress toward economic independence and prosperity.

Call to Action

We, at AETM, urge all citizens to support this amendment for the prosperity of our nation. This is an opportunity for Zimbabwe to demonstrate that we prioritize national development over political convenience.

As an organization dedicated to economic transformation, we recognize that sustainable development requires stable governance and consistent policy implementation. Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill provides this foundation for Zimbabwe's progress.

Together, let us build a prosperous Zimbabwe.
