PUTRAJAYA: A meeting of all political party leaders will be convened to discuss a Bill to cap the Prime Minister’s tenure at a maximum of 10 years or two full terms, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. “I have to meet all the party leaders so that we can get more than a two-thirds majority,” she told reporters. Azalina clarified that the Bill would not apply to the positions of chief minister or mentri besar. “On the proposed two-term limit for the prime minister, extensive studies have already been conducted,” she said. “The journey to reach this stage required extensive discussion and continuous refinement,” she said, expressing hope that 2026 would mark significant progress and achievements in legal and institutional reforms.
