Impeachment proceedings to remove Robert Mugabe from power in Zimbabwe will begin later after a deadline for him to resign passed.
He stunned his country on Sunday when he failed to announce that he was stepping down.
An ultimatum from his Zanu-PF party to resign by midday on Monday or face impeachment also came and went with no word from Mr Mugabe.
The party will now press ahead with impeachment by tabling a motion.
It believes it can all be done and dusted in a couple of days.
"We want to get rid of this animal called Mugabe. We have the numbers, the opposition is also going to support us," said Zanu-PF MP Vongai Mupereri.
"We are going to impeach - the man has to go," MP MacKenzie Ncube told the AFP news agency.
