Nothing could be further from the truth. > These amendments are aimed at strengthening our flourishing constitutional democracy through the deliberate creation of a stable institution of the presidency by removing the imported running mate clause which has proved to be chaotic where it has been used. Khaya Moyo argued that it was clear from the onset that the “running mate clause”, which is set to be amputated from the Constitution, was not popular with the framers of the national charter. Said Moyo: > It is, therefore, not by mistake that the makers of the 2013 Constitution, our people, averred that this clause is operational after 10 years from 2013. > This is because it needed to be subjected to further scrutiny coupled with the observation of whether it was efficient in countries where it has been operationalised. > There is certainly therefore nothing amiss in copying international best practices and established traditions as applicable in other jurisdictions. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
