DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said this was decided during a meeting on the opposition pact’s general election manifesto yesterday.
“When we want to carry out a policy, we must not only get agreement from within the party but also from other PH parties.
“Even until today, there are still those who object to the proposal.
“However, a majority have since decided that there will be a two-term limit,” he said in his speech at a Chinese New Year open house at the Taman Seri Setia flats here.
PH chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad had previously mooted the idea of limiting the terms to two if PH takes over Putrajaya.
Mahathir, who served as prime minister for 22 years until his retirement in 2003, said the term limit was necessary to curb corruption.
He also said the two-term limit was enough to formulate and carry out policies.
