Se requiere una decisión política sobre el plazo para las elecciones de mitad de mandato, señala el presidente del JPC

P.P. Choudhary, presidente del Comité Parlamentario Conjunto sobre elecciones simultáneas, declaró el lunes que las decisiones sobre el resto del mandato en caso de elecciones anticipadas deben tomarse mediante consultas políticas con los partidos.

P.P. Choudhary habló tras las consultas sobre el Proyecto de Ley de la Constitución (129ª Enmienda) de 2024 y el Proyecto de Ley de Leyes de los Territorios de la Unión (Enmienda). Señaló que si un gobierno pierde su mayoría faltando dos años y medio, podrían celebrarse elecciones anticipadas para el período restante. Sin embargo, se requeriría un plazo límite claro cuando resten solo seis o tres meses.

El Sr. Choudhary afirmó que también podría ser necesaria una enmienda a las leyes contra el transfuguismo. Añadió que el gobierno presidencial podría aplicarse durante el resto del mandato. Sobre los mandatos fragmentados, observó que ya existen mecanismos para manejar tales situaciones.

El presidente señaló las elecciones simultáneas celebradas en el pasado entre 1952 y 1967. Destacó que las elecciones frecuentes suponen una carga para los docentes e interrumpen los programas de desarrollo. El Sr. Choudhary aclaró que la propuesta no tiene como objetivo establecer un sistema de partido único.
