THE opposition Citizens Coalition for Change has thrown its full weight behind Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill of 2026, approved by Cabinet on Tuesday, stating that it represents a step in the right direction towards ensuring the country’s economic growth and                                        development.

In its caucus resolutions following a meeting on Thursday, CCC chief whip Mr Charles Moyo said the Bill aptly captured changes that were necessary for progress.

Mr Moyo said electoral reforms contemplated in the Bill were welcome.

All CCC MPs have been instructed to go to their constituencies to convene meetings in every ward to explain the Constitutional Amendment Bill 3 of 2026.

“In the implementation of the resolutions of this meeting, all members are to exercise maximum discipline, patience in explaining any aspect relevant to the Bill . . . ” said Mr Moyo.

On Tuesday, Cabinet approved the Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill of 2026, which proposes a parliamentary process for the election of the President and seeks to replace the current five-year term with a seven-year term.

The Bill also introduces a raft of legal reforms aimed at strengthening constitutional governance, clarifying institutional roles, promoting political stability and enhancing the efficiency of the State architecture.
