 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Zimbabwe's ruling party recommended Sunday that President Robert Mugabe's term be extended by two years, to 2010, delaying a showdown between rival factions over the choice of his successor.
At the annual Zanu-PF party conference outside the capital of Harare, delegates in general endorsed the extension of Mugabe's term but referred the matter to the party's central committee for formal approval.
The decision by the 4,000 delegates not to vote on the plan, some analysts say, reflected internal dissent over the extension.
