Tarar Seeks to Dismiss 28th Amendment Rumours
Tarar said any constitutional change would require coalition consent as talks continue on local government, new provinces and population control.
- On Saturday, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar stated there are currently "no signs" of a 28th Constitutional Amendment, emphasizing that any legislative progress requires consensus among coalition partners.
- Since taking power in February 2024, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz -led government has passed the 26th and 27th amendments, establishing precedent for consensus-based legislative processes.
- Discussions currently involve multiple national issues, including population control, the strengthening of local government systems demanded by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement , and the potential creation of Hazara and Saraiki provinces.
- PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari confirmed the government has not contacted him or President Asif Ali Zardari regarding any constitutional amendment, noting "no talks have taken place yet."
- Any future constitutional changes will only proceed after receiving a "signal" from coalition allies and finalizing a formal draft, as legislation remains an ongoing process requiring national consensus.
