"While he is on leave, the two Vice Presidents, Hon K.C.D Mohadi, and Hon. Dr C.G.D.N Chiwenga will stand in for him in that order.

"Vice President Mohadi will act from 31st December, 2024 to 19th January, 2025. Thereafter, Vice President Chiwenga will act until His Excellency the President resumes duty in early February," Charamba said.
