why not abolish the presidential system altogether. You and all your predecessors have been promising to do just that.

So, since he didn't abolish it, he doesn't love his country? Haha

because you could not execute your personal agenda. Read your election manifesto in 2015

As to why you didn't do this during your tenure

Is that you didn't love the country when you were instrumental in getting it passed in 2015?

Even the next president will not be able to abolish anything. The parliament can do it, then again why would they want to do it? Just imagine what would have happened on 26/10 if not for the 19th amendment. We need a competent president to establish stability.
