A deadline set by the party of Robert Mugabe to resign as the country's President has passed without a public statement, as speculation swirls over the veteran leader's next move.
A source with knowledge of negotiations over Mugabe's future told CNN that the President had agreed to terms for his exit and that a letter had been drafted.
But the 93-year-old leader has defied all expectations in the past week of political turmoil and efforts to end his 37-year rule appear to still be in a state of flux. Mugabe stunned the nation on Sunday night by making a rambling televised statement that unexpectedly ended without his resignation.
Mugabe's ZANU-PF party, which he co-founded and led for decades, ousted him as party leader on Sunday and gave him an ultimatum -- relinquish the presidency by midday on Monday or face an impeachment vote in Parliament.
