In a low turnout vote in the Consultative Mejlis, where only one deputy voted, a act establishing a new third chamber within the National Parliament and allowing partisan affiliation in the Mejlis of Knowledgeable People was approved. The motion was proposed by the President, who additionally immediately approved it following its successful passing in the Mejlis.
The new chamber will be the Mejlis of Vandals, which according to act is named after the Germanic Vandal Kingdom. It will be composed of the President, Prime Minister, ceremonial heads and appointees by the President who will all serve life-terms in the body. The head of the new deliberative chamber will be the President as Vandalführer, with the Prime Minister as Deputy Vandalführer. Under the new system, motions approved by the Vandal Mejlis will be sent to the Mejlis of Knowledgeable People for approval which will decide if they can become law. The Vandal Mejlis will not be part of the joint sessions of the National Parliament, despite being a part of it.
Additionally, a previous rule of offices in the Mejlis of Knowledgeable People being non-partisan under the 2nd System of Government Act has been abolished. This seems to have been done to allow the Government's party to establish closer ties with parties without representation.
The full act may be read here.
The President has also issued his first appointments for the Knowledgeable People's Mejlis. Tanju Çakar (Progressive Party) has been made representative of industrial workers, Lüd İsveçoğlu (Feudalist Party) has been made representative of the peasantry, Muhamet Ali (Independent) has been made representative of Turkish speakers, Kevin Vanhaar (Democratic Party) has been made representative of Ardajanis, Shady Morsi (Democratic Party) has been made representative of Dutch speakers, Tablekitten (Moralist Party) has been appointed representative of Christians and he has appointed himself (People's Unity Party) as representative of Muslims. Tablekitten has been selected to serve as its Speaker. The other offices will remain vacant so far.
