Proposal to Remove Universal Suffrage is Not in Good Faith – Mathias Mpuuga

The Leader of Opposition in Parliament Mathias Mpuuga says the proposal to switch from a Presidential to a Parliamentary system of governance can only be feasible if the government can first address previous democracy evils before entering into a new system.

Mpuuga renewed calls for a review of the composition of the Electoral Commission leadership, restructuring the constituencies and blocking the military’s involvement in the electoral process.

Mpuuga has revealed this was planned during the age limit removal but the NRM agreed to delay it.
