Lawmakers deadlock over territorial reform agenda

A parliamentary commission tasked with redrawing local government boundaries has collapsed into a deadlock over its working schedule.

The breakdown occurred after ruling party lawmakers and the opposition tied in a vote, leaving the committee unable to adopt an agenda for its final report.

Government representatives are pushing to speed up the proceedings to submit their findings to parliament ahead of an upcoming deadline.

Opposition officials are actively blocking the rushed timeline, demanding a formal extension to conduct a deeper review of the proposed regional changes.

With neither side willing to compromise, the procedural stalemate has paralyzed the committee and threatened to derail the entire reform process.
