If enacted, the bill would remove the current direct popular vote for president and concentrate selection power in parliament, changing campaign and coalition strategies ahead of the next electoral cycle. Expanding the Senate and increasing presidential appointees would raise the ruling party’s ability to lock in legislative control and pass future constitutional or electoral changes with fewer defections. The bill’s submission to the speaker and publication in the official gazette starts the formal legislative clock, creating a near-term window for domestic and external actors to influence or condition engagement before parliamentary votes.
