<p>Ruling party members are of the opinion that an impeachment process wouldn't lead to his immediate resignation and could take days to complete</p>

Longtime President Robert Mugabe ignored a midday deadline set by the ruling party to step down or face impeachment proceedings, while Zimbabweans stunned by his lack of resignation during a national address vowed more protests to make him leave. Opposition activists and the influential liberation war veterans association announced more demonstrations to pressure the 93-year-old Mugabe to step down after 37 years in power.
