This principled stance underscores our dedication to enduring democratic norms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Provincial leaders also voiced support for the proposed legislation, describing it as key to maintaining momentum toward Zimbabwe\u2019s Vision 2030 targets.<\/p>\n<p>ZANU-PF Manicaland Province Chairperson Tawanda Mukodza said supporters want President Emmerson Mnangagwa to continue implementing his development agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want our President to continue his work to 2030 and beyond because the people on the ground are seeing the results of his leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Manicaland Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Advocate Misheck Mugadza, emphasised the importance of continuity for long-term transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are fully behind this amendment because it gives our leader more time to complete the work he has started.
