Yemen’s parliament gave preliminary approval to a constitutional amendment eliminating presidential term limits, a measure that would allow Ali Abdullah Saleh to stay in power past the end of his current mandate in 2013.
The amendment would shorten also presidential term to five years from seven, Abdu Bishr, a member of parliament for Saleh’s General People’s Congress, said in an interview in Sana’a today.
