Th cabinet which held an emergency meeting today just passed the 20th amendment.
The proposal was put forward by the Prime Minister to elect 125 MPs from First-Past-the Post (FPP) system, 75 from Proportional Representation (PR) system and the remaining 25 members from the National List through the 20th Amendment to the Constitution
This was discussed during a cabinet meeting which was held today to take a final decision on the 20th Amendment.
“It will take about four days to draft the new proposal. Then it will be presented to the cabinet again,” a spokesman said.
It was earlier suggested to change the existing PR system into a hybrid of PR and FPP system and to increase the number of seats to 255 from 225.
According to that system, 196 members were supposed to elect on a FPP system and a district-based PR system. The remaining 59 members were scheduled to elect from the national list.
