Big blow for Chamisa

Zanu-PF is mulling using its majority in Parliament to effect a raft of constitutional amendments, including raising the minimum age for presidential aspirants from the current 40 year to 55.

If this move goes through, Chamisa who is currently 40 years old, will only be eligible for the high office in 2033.

MDC secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora said such moves would be resisted through the courts.

"The intention by Zanu-PF to change presidential constitutional age limits is malicious, vindictive and clearly unconstitutional," Mwonzora said on Twitter.
