A nationwide survey conducted by Global InfoAnalytics indicates that many voters support key proposals outlined in the Constitutional Review Commission’s report issued earlier this month.

The poll shows that extending the presidential term from four to five years has the backing of most respondents. Fifty-seven percent of voters surveyed said they support the proposal, while 36 percent are opposed. Seven percent indicated they are undecided.

The survey also reveals strong approval for separating parliamentary and ministerial roles. According to the findings, 58 percent of respondents favour a ban on members of parliament serving as ministers, compared with 32 percent who oppose the idea. Ten percent said they have no clear position on the matter.
