Members of parliament in Zimbabwe will on Tuesday begin impeachment process against President Robert Mugabe to force him out of office.

The process was sanctioned by Zimbabwe’s ruling Zanu-PF with an official saying that a motion to strip Mr. Mugabe of the presidency would be presented to parliament.

Mr. Mugabe who has been ruling Zimbabwe since 1980 is charged with letting his wife “usurp constitutional power” and advancing in age making it difficult for him to govern properly.

Zimbabweans on Monday gathered in Africa Unity Square near the country’s Parliament and prayed to God to touch the heart of their President Robert Mugabe to step down.

The prayer meeting is to be held each day until President Mugabe resigns as pressure mounts on the 93 year old leader to cede power.

One of the organizers of the event Doug Coltart, and the organiser of #ThisFlag, campaign said “We want Mugabe to step down. We want him to go peacefully”.

On Sunday the Zanu-PF party passed a resolution to remove Robert Mugabe from the position of president of the party and urged him to resign.

A deadline of 10:00 GMT on Monday set by the Zanu-PF for Mugabe to resign elapsed without any signal of the revolutionary leader exiting power.

On Monday night the military leadership also told a news conference that President Mugabe has been in touch with his sacked vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa and both men would be holding talks.

Mr. Mugabe is also expected to hold a cabinet meeting on Tuesday with his ministers with Zanu PF warning Mugabe’s ministers against attending the meeting.
