Ouagadougou - Burkina Faso's government will submit a bill for parliament to call a referendum on the revision of constitutional term limits, the interior minister said after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
The step is the latest move by President Blaise Compaore's camp to push through changes that would allow him to stay in power when his term ends next year.
The proposed revision has raised political tensions in the West African state. Compaore and his allies must now secure an outright majority of the 127-seat National Assembly for the bill to be adopted.
