Today, Parliament’s vote on the Constitutional Amendment Bill is therefore about much more than electoral reform.
SIMON KOROMAAmending a constitution to favor a current ruling party is a short-sighted strategy often called constitutional weaponization.
The constitutional amendment must not favour neither the ruling party nor the opposition.
No ruling party stays in power forever.
@ Passing laws to benefit only the ruling party can harm democracy by weakening fair rules, reducing trust in public institutions, and hurting minority voices.
