The ZANU-PF party gives Robert Mugabe by midday Monday to decide

HARARE, Zimbabwe – Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF party said on Sunday, November 19, that Robert Mugabe must resign as the country’s president or face impeachment, as it also resolved to expel his wife Grace.

A party meeting in Harare agreed that “Mugabe resign forthwith from his position as president of Zimbabwe” by midday Monday or face impeachment proceedings.

Party spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo added that “Grace is on the list of people to be expelled from the party”. (READ: End nears for Mugabe as ruling party turns against him)

Mugabe’s grip on power was broken last week when the military took over, angered at his wife Grace’s emergence as the leading candidate to succeed the 93-year-old president.

On Saturday, tens of thousands of overjoyed demonstrators flooded the streets of Zimbabwe in peaceful celebrations marking the apparent end of his long and authoritarian rule. – Rappler.com
