2. A President after winning appoints the prime minister who will be from any member of the majority party or a coalition of the majority.
3. The Prime minister is the supervisor and coordinator of all ministries. The prime minister has two deputies all appointed by the President from the majority party or coalition of the majority.
4. The Prime minister and his deputies can be relieved off their positions by the president without approval of Parliament.
Ministers can be appointed from Parliament and those appointed from outside Parliament become ex official members of Parliament.
5. All the current 290 constituencies to be retained in the national assembly.
6. Members representing the individual constituencies in the national assembly will be based on a county party list presented to the elections body prior to the elections date.
