BREAKING: ZZPP DECLARES CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT BILL NO. 3 NULL AND VOID – "ZANU PF HAS NO MANDATE."
Harare, Zimbabwe – 13 May 2026 – 06:00 HRS
BREAKING NEWS
The Zvido ZveVanhu Peoples Party (ZZPP) has this morning issued an explosive declaration that Constitution Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3) is null and void from the start, arguing that the ZANU PF regime is illegitimate and has no authority to amend Zimbabwe's supreme law.
In a dramatic dawn statement, ZZPP Founder, President and First Secretary Godfrey Matadi declared that the current government lacks the legal, moral, or democratic mandate to alter the Constitution, citing damning reports from the 2023 harmonized elections.
⚡ DEVELOPING STORY
"A ROGUE GOVERNMENT"
"The SEOM and SADC reports of 2023 are crystal clear," Matadi said. "ZANU-PF is not a legitimate government. It is a rogue administration. And a rogue government has no right – none – to touch the Constitution of Zimbabwe."
The Party is now calling on SADC, the African Union, and the international community to intervene immediately.
🚨 KEY DEMANDS
ZZPP has laid down three non-negotiable positions:
1. CAB3 is DEAD on arrival – Any attempt to pass it is an act of treason against the people of Zimbabwe.
2. The public consultation is a SHAM – Citizens are being silenced, beaten, and arrested for rejecting the Bill.
3. The regime is trying to LEGALIZE A DICTATORSHIP – Moving to a parliamentary system where MPs select the President removes the people's voice entirely.
📢 WHAT THE REPORTS SAID
The Party reminded Zimbabweans that the SADC Electoral Observer Mission (SEOM), African Union, European Union, and Commonwealth all issued scathing reports on the August 2023 elections, citing:
• ❌ Irregularities in constituency delimitation
• ❌ Restrictions on freedom of assembly and expression under MOPA and the Patriot Act
• ❌ Deployment of state security agents ("Forever Associates Zimbabwe") to intimidate voters
• ❌ Biased state media coverage conflating the ruling party with the state
• ❌ Ballot papers arriving nearly 12 hours late in opposition strongholds like Harare
Conclusion: The elections fell short of the Constitution, the Electoral Act, and SADC Principles for Democratic Elections.
🏛️ "A FRAUDULENT PARLIAMENT."
Matadi went further, declaring that the MPs and Councillors currently sitting in Parliament are illegitimate.
"The so-called 'opposition' in Parliament is a facade – a tool used by ZANU PF to create the illusion of debate while they systematically dismantle our democracy," he said.
"They have no mandate to change the Constitution. They have no right to sit in a chamber and vote away your right to elect a President."
⏰ THE CLOCK IS TICKING
With the 15 May 2026 deadline now only 2 DAYS AWAY, ZZPP is urging all Zimbabweans to reject CAB3 and resist what they call a "legislative coup."
The Party's message is clear:
"The 'Will of the People' is not a dynasty. ZANU-PF has no right to touch the Constitution. CAB3 must fall."
