Commission recommends electoral college to elect president, limiting tenure to 4-year

The Constitution Reform Commission, in its final report submitted to the chief adviser today (15 January), has recommended introducing a four-year term for presidents.

The commission also recommends for an individual to be elected president a maximum of two times.

The commission also recommended electing the future president by an electoral college, a body whose task is to elect a candidate to a particular office. In the United States, the Electoral College is the group of presidential electors that is formed every four years during the presidential election for the sole purpose of voting for the president and vice president.

The electoral college will be formed through individual votes by all the members of the upper and lower house of the parliament, combined votes by all the district coordination councils and city corporation coordination council, another recommendation says.

Another recommendation by the Commission includes provisions on the impeachment of the president due to sedition, indecent activities or disobeying the Constitution.
