Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 opens door to endless term extensions – rights lawyer

Rights lawyer Douglas Coltart has raised alarms over Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, arguing it could enable politicians to stay in power indefinitely by bypassing constitutional term limits. The bill passed through the National Assembly and is now heading to the Senate, sparking concerns that it sets a dangerous precedent. Critics fear this change could undermine democratic principles by allowing leaders to extend their mandates without constitutional constraints, threatening the country's democratic integrity.
