The Speaker of Parliament officially announced in the House today, September 22, 2026, the determination of the Supreme Court regarding the petitions challenging the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.

A three-judge bench of the apex court determined that none of the provisions within the draft constitutional amendment violate the entrenched clauses of the Constitution that mandate approval by the people at a national referendum. The ruling establishes that the bill can be enacted into law through a special two-thirds majority vote in Parliament. Party leaders convened following the announcement to finalize the parliamentary debate schedule for the proposed governance reforms.
