The changes also include aligning the parliamentary term with the extended presidential term and lowering the minimum age for presidential candidates from 40 to 35. The government plans to hold presidential elections in early November to allow sufficient time before the January inauguration. The proposed amendments require approval through several legislative stages and a national referendum scheduled for 2027, which needs at least 40% voter participation and 75% support to pass.
