A Bill for an Act to alter the provisions of the Constitution to create a single term of six years for the office of president and state governors has failed in the House of Representatives.

The bill also sought to make it possible for all elections in the country to be held on a single day.
When the bill which was scheduled for second reading was put to vote, the lawmakers voted against it.
