Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>EIGHT out of 10 Zimbabweans are opposed to a plot to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa term of office beyond 2028, according to the latest Afrobarometer survey.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa\u2019s loyalists in the ruling Zanu PF party have announced plans to have the Constitution changed so that the President can remain in office until 2030 and even beyond.<\/p>\n

There has, however, been resistance to the 2030 agenda, forcing Mnangagwa to publicly announce that he will retire when his term of office expires in 2028.<\/p>\n

However, the President\u2019s loyalists have been forging ahead with the 2030 agenda.<\/p>\n

In its latest report, Afrobarometer said the majority of Zimbabweans were against the 2030 agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout eight in 10 Zimbabweans (79%) support the present constitutional arrangement that limits the president to serving two terms in office,\u201d the report reads in part.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen are more likely than women to support presidential term limits (81% vs 76%), as are urban residents compared to their rural counterparts (85% vs 74%).<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport for term limits increases with respondents\u2019 level of education, rising from 69% among those with primary schooling or less to 87% among those with tertiary education.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Afrobarometer team led by the Mass Public Opinion Institute said it interviewed 1 200 adult citizens between June 1 and 15 this year.<\/p>\n

The survey highlighted individuals with some post-secondary education are more likely to reject the 2030 agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cUrbanites are more likely than rural residents to support multiparty competition (71% vs 65%), as are the most educated citizens (80%) compared to those with secondary schooling or less (60%-66%),\u201d the survey said.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, about two-thirds (68%) of citizens favour having many political parties to ensure voters select their leaders.<\/p>\n

Afrobarometer said Mashonaland West is one province where the majority of the citizens are against the 2030 agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeographically, Mashonaland West is the region with the highest share of respondents who support multiparty competition (85%), compared to only 59% of Harare residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
