Opposition politician Elisabeth Valerio, who was the only female presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, says many politicians in the ZANU PF-led government have betrayed the people of Zimbabwe by focusing on their re-election in 2028 instead of focusing on fulfilling the promises they made to the electorate in the run-up to the previous general elections.

Despite President Emmerson Mnangagwa twice categorically saying he will leave at the end of his constitutionally-mandated two terms in 2028, Valerio believes Zimbabweans are being taken for a ride.

Posting on X, the United Zimbabwe Alliance (UZA) president said Zimbabweans are not calling for a third term; they are demanding effective governance, protection and quality public service delivery. Wrote Valerio:

> It has just been one year since the 2023 presidential elections. We expect the government of Zimbabwe to be entirely focused on fulfilling promises made to the people.

> BUT, instead – many politicians in our government are already fixated on securing their positions for the next term. This blatant disregard for the needs of the electorate is a betrayal of the trust that was placed in them.

> President Emmerson Mnangagwa himself seems to have employed a strategy of reverse psychology, suggesting an intention to step down, only to be “persuaded” to stay on.

> This charade is nothing more than a ploy to cling to power at all costs. We have also witnessed senior members of ZANU PF endorsing a third term for President #Mnangagwa.

> This manoeuvre is not only unconstitutional – it represents a dangerous precedent. The Constitution of Zimbabwe (the supreme law of the land) unequivocally outlines the presidential term limits.

> It is therefore highly troubling and unacceptable that some are seeking to undermine this Constitution, solely to serve the ambitions of a single individual.

> Zimbabwe should not be held hostage by the whims of a ruling party that lacks a coherent and democratic succession plan.

> The politics of power without accountability and without delivering on its mandate to the people is a grave injustice to our nation.

> The citizens of Zimbabwe are NOT calling for a third term; they are demanding effective governance, protection and quality public service delivery.

> The voice of the people is clear – no one is above the law, and we must never again make the mistake of allowing a dictatorship to take root in our beloved country.

> As a nation, we must stand firm and united in defence of our democracy. We must ensure that political leaders are held accountable by the same laws and standards that apply to every citizen.

> Zimbabwe deserves leadership that respects the rule of law, honours the will of the people, and is committed to the betterment of every Zimbabwean citizen.
