The extension was requested by the government, which argued that more time was needed to reach a consensus on the proposed changes. The current rules for amending the constitution have been criticized for being too lenient, allowing for frequent and often unnecessary changes to the country's fundamental law.

The new regulations are expected to address concerns about the ease with which amendments can be made, as well as to ensure that any changes are in line with the original intent of the constitution. The STF's decision to grant the extension reflects the court's commitment to ensuring that the constitution is respected and protected.

The government and Congress are now expected to work together to develop a new set of rules that will be both effective and fair. The STF's extension provides them with the necessary time to engage in meaningful dialogue and reach a consensus that will benefit the country as a whole.
