Two-term limit for mayors, heads of communes, and city presidents
This draft law amends the Constitution, introducing a rule that mayors, heads of communes, and city presidents can serve a maximum of two five-year terms. The change aims to strengthen local democracy, prevent power monopolization, and increase rotation in these positions, fostering new ideas and greater public trust. The new rules will also apply to those already holding these offices.
Key points
Mayors, heads of communes, and city presidents will only be eligible for two five-year terms.
The two-term limit will also apply to individuals currently holding these offices, meaning their previous terms count towards the limit.
The goal is to increase citizen participation in local governance and prevent long-term power holding by the same individuals.
The change aims to ensure greater transparency and legal stability in the functioning of local government.
