I would like for one of my senators to propose a bill to get rid of region or districts. There is no need of having both.

I already did that a long time ago.  The senate already voted on that and we did in fact discard regions.

To elect governors, who have redistricting powers.

The point if to leave the redistricting powers to someone who doesn't have a direct stake in the outcome of the redistricting.  

If the Governors were elected from Districts, they would be unlikely to approve a map that put two Govs in the same District, even if that map was in the best interest of the forum.
