The country’s ruling party, Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front, ZANU -PF, has on Wednesday, announced that President Robert Mugabe, has been replaced with erstwhile Vice President, Emmerson Mnagngawa.
They wrote on Twitter about an hour ago that: “Zimbabwe has not had a coup. There has been a decision to intervene, because our Constitution had been undermined, in the interim, Comrade E Mnagngawa, will be President of ZANU-PF, as per the Constitution of our revolutionary organisation.”
In a series of tweets, the ruling party went on to indicate that the action of the Military has the backing of politicians in the country.
“Zimbabwe has not had a coup. There has been a decision to intervene, because our Constitution had been undermined, in the interim, Comrade E Mnagngawa, will be President of ZANU-PF, as per the Constitution of our revolutionary organisation.
“Last night, the first family was detained and are safe, both for the Constitution and the sanity of the nation, this was necessary. Neither Zimbabwe nor ZANU are owned by Mugabe and his wife. Today begins a fresh new era, and comrade Mnangagwa will help us achieve a better Zimbabwe..
“There was no coup, only a bloodless transition, which saw corrupt and crooked persons being arrested, and an elderly man who had been taken advantage of by his wife, being detained. The few bangs that were heard were from crooks who were resisting arrest, but they are now detained.
“ZANU-PF has a way of solving our own problems, the situation is stable and Zimbabwe is open for business. There was no coup, but a bloodless peaceful transition- the centre is strong and there is peace with honest leadership.”
