ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the National Assembly Syed Khurshid Shah proposed a four-year-long tenure for the federal and provincial governments elected through polls on Tuesday.

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader was speaking to media representatives in his chamber in the Parliament House.

"Present government may complete its five years," Shah said, adding that the proposal for a four-year-long tenure should come into force from the next term.

Shah, who was speaking on election reforms, said that if the suggested proposal was implemented, it would resolve most political, democratic and governance-related problems in the country.

Shah strongly backed the "constitutional proposal" which he presented and said that it was pitched after in-depth consideration and consultation with party leaders.

In Pakistan's parliamentary structure, as mentioned in the Constitution, national and provincial elections are supposed to be held after every five years. The general elections of May 2013 saw the first democratic transfer of power between two elected governments since independence in 1947.

Read the OP again, he said

Its a good idea i think, 5 year is too long. The govts do nothing in last year or fifth year except rampant corruption, fifth year sees less economic activity too, PPP did more damage in their last year compared to fourth. We should have quick transitions between democratic govts.

Most countries I believe have four years term for the government in power, examples include USA, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, south korea, sweden, turkey, spain, switzerland, portugal, belgium, etc.

If they are for 4 years...The 4th year will be considered the last year. Hence all the rampant corruption will come automatically in the last year.

Makes sense?

The more time a govt stays more time they have for corruption, Overall there will be less corruption in 4 years than 5.
