A London-based Zanu PF activist, Nick Mangwana, says President Robert Mugabe should remain in office as long as Zimbabweans vote him into office.

Mangwana says the president’s advanced age does not restrict him from occupying the presidential seat and therefore he is expected to contest the presidential poll in 2018 even though he will be aged 94 at that time.

But Obert Gutu, spokesperson of the Movement for Democratic Change formation of Morgan Tsvangiri, says Mr. Mugabe who has ruled Zimbabwe for more than 36 years, should leave office and never entertain hopes of participating in the 2018 general election.

However, Mangwana tells Studio 7’s in a political panel on calls by Zanu PF youth for Mr. Mugabe to rule until he dies in office that the president is currently exercising his constitutional rights and his future will be shaped by the supreme law of the land and the people of Zimbabwe.VOA
