Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Mpopoma-Mzilikazi MP, Charles Moyo, a top ally of self-imposed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Secretary General Sengezo Tshabangu has distanced himself from plans to support a motion aimed at amending the constitution to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s term and postpone the 2028 elections to 2033.<\/p>\n

A leaked document revealed that ZANU PF MPs were working with Tshabangu\u2019s CCC faction to push a motion in Parliament for constitutional amendments.<\/p>\n

The motion was set to be moved by Energy Mutodi and seconded by Moyo, who is Tshabangu\u2019s Chief Whip in Parliament.<\/p>\n

However, Moyo issued a statement denying any involvement in discussions with ZANU PF regarding the motion, which seeks to extend Mnangagwa\u2019s tenure from 2028 to 2030. Wrote Moyo:<\/p>\n

I, Charles Moyo of CCC party representing citizens of Mpopoma-Mzilikazi Constituency, wish to categorically deny the claims circulating on social media regarding a motion on presidential, parliamentary and local government term limits that has recently come to my attention.
\nI want to make it explicitly clear that I have not discussed any motion with Dr. Energy Mutodi or with any individual for that matter. I have not been in communication with Dr. Mutodi concerning this or any other issue.<\/p>\n

In any case for any document to gain credibility as a motion, it requires a signature. I would like to emphasize that I have not signed any such document and have no knowledge of its origins.<\/p>\n

Currently, I am enjoying a well-deserved break from parliamentary duties, and I find it regrettable that this baseless document has emerged during this time.<\/p>\n

It appears to be the work of mischief makers who seek to create confusion and misrepresent my stance on important issues.<\/p>\n

I encourage everyone to disregard this unfounded information and to refrain from spreading rumours that undermine the integrity of our democratic processes.<\/p>\n

Mutodi acknowledged the leaked document and said it remains a draft that is still being developed.<\/p>\n
