The Cabinet endorsed a proposal to draft constitutional amendments for the introduction of a new parliamentary electoral system that will enable the election of 160 MPs under the previous First-Past-the –Post System and the remainder under proportional representation, Daily Mirror learns.
Currently, Parliament consists of 225 MPs.
Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe presented the proposal approved by the Cabinet. A new piece of legislation will be drafted for enactment by Parliament giving effect to the constitutional changes required for the purpose. It will be a hybrid electoral system.
In the past, the successive governments attempted to bring changes to the current electoral system which is solely based on proportional representation and preferential voting.
