Amendments Raise Municipality Candidacy Age to 25
The parliamentary Administrative Committee raised the minimum age for candidacy in municipal elections to 25 years, while maintaining the requirement of holding a bachelor's degree for the presidency of first-class municipalities. The committee also recommended appointing a municipal executive director as a replacement for elected councils to reinforce governance principles and prevent overlapping of authorities. Additionally, the share of municipalities in capital expenditures was increased from 15% to 16%, aiming to enhance their capacity to implement developmental projects. The amendments also addressed restricting the government's authority to dissolve municipal councils within a specific time frame, in order to strengthen the role of elected councils and improve services for citizens.
