President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has said that five years is too long for a term of Presidency.
Speaking at the second meeting of Jazeera Holhuashi last night, the President said that five years is too long for him to be a President.
President Solih said that he believes five years is too long for Presidential term and a parliament term.
The President made the statement in his speech closing the LGA discussions last night. Some Councilors proposed that three years is too short for a council term.
President Solih said that he believes it is better for elected officials to go the people more often than trying to have a long term. And if officials are doing good work, they would be re-elected by the public.
The Constitution currently states that the term of office is five years for Presidents and MPs and three years for local councils.
