President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has shared his vision to limit the growth in the number of Members of Parliament.
Speaking during the sixth episode of the Rayyithunnaa Eku podcast, the President touched on several issues of governing and constitutional changes.
He pointed out that parliamentary seats are currently allocated based on population ratios and, while representation is essential in a democracy, it is equally important to maintain a practical and manageable Parliament.
As such, the President proposed a legal amendment to cap the number of MPs at the current figure of 93.
In today's podcast, the President expressed support for the introduction of a preferential voting system for presidential elections. He stated that this reform could eliminate the need for a second round of voting, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
However, he added that the implementation of such a system would follow thorough research and public consultation.
According to the President, this change would encourage greater citizen participation and enhance the likelihood of electing a candidate with broad public support.
