PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has not yet made any public statejent on the back of widespread calls from the ruling Zanu-PF party insiders calling for his immediate resignation.
The latest developments come in the wake of press conferences held by a group of senior war veterans, led by Geza, whose growing influence within Zimbabwe’s power structures has rattled the ruling elite.
The war veterans, once staunch allies of ZANU-PF, have increasingly voiced concerns over Mnangagwa’s leadership, economic mismanagement, and perceived betrayal of their long-standing loyalty to the party.
The deep state, including influential figures within the military and intelligence services, is now believed to be aligning itself with Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s faction, leading to a significant shift in Zimbabwe’s political dynamics.
Senior ZANU-PF members who had previously backed Mnangagwa are reportedly distancing themselves from him, with some seeking protection and political accommodation within the Chiwenga-led camp.
Despite the mounting pressure, Mnangagwa has yet to publicly respond to the resignation demands.
This political crisis has left Zimbabwe at a crossroads, with many watching closely to see whether Mnangagwa will bow to internal party pressure or attempt to resist—a move that could trigger wider unrest.
With tensions rising and the security forces appearing to shift their loyalty, Zimbabwe could be on the brink of another seismic power transition.
But experts believe that the move to oust Mnangagwa will require proper Constitutional backing and if handled recklessly risks being regarded as an outright removal of a constitutionally elected government.
