Zimbabwe Adopts New Constitution -Tuesday March 19,2013


Voters in Zimbabwe overwhelmingly approved a new constitution, the country’s election chief said on Tuesday while announcing final results from a referendum held on Saturday March 16,2013

More than 3 million people voted on Saturday in favour of the new supreme law, while just 179,000 voted against.The total turnout was below expectation in the country of approximately 12.7 million people. 


The New Constitution introduces Presidential Term limits, Grants Parliament more Power and Expands Women’s Rights.However,it would not hinder President Robert Mugabe(89)who has led the country since independence in 1980 from running for office again
