Best solution for the term of office in a semi-presidential system (part 2)

In a previous thread, I proposed the creation of a semi-presidential system with some guidelines. The question was when the mandates of the Head of State and the Head of Government should last. They recommended that the elected Head of State should last 8 years in office while the elected Head of Government should last four years, and their elections should not coincide for there to be stability and that they had enough time to be known by the people.
But now I consider 8 years to be too long and complicated. So my proposal would be:
* The Head of State will have a mandate of 6 years.
* The Head of Government shall have a 4-year term with the possibility of re-election.

The problem is that every 12 years, the elections for Head of State and Head of Government will coincide and they will have the same problems exposed in that thread.
Do you have a solution?
 
Fixed terms are bad and encourage coups in a semi-presidential system, get rid of them and move to a Westminster rip-off lol.

Or just give the first President an extra year so all Presidential elections take place in odd years while parliament is in even years.

Just do what France does with five-year fixed term for President and parliamentary elections called by the President or fixed.

hehe, but I'd rather you be presidential.
Well, there are two options:
First proposal (The election of both positions will coincide every 20 years):
* Head of State has a 5-year term with re-election
* Head of Government has a 4-year term with re-election
Second proposal (The election of both positions will coincide every 28 years):
* Head of State has a 7-year term with re-election
* Head of Government has a 4-year term with re-election
If so, I still prefer the first proposal, more than 7 years is a long time ago.
For the first proposal, if the elections coincide, there are two options:
* That the election of the Head of State be between February and June. and that the election of the Head of Government be between July and November.
* That the election of the Head of State and the Head of Government are in the same electoral period

I wanted something different. :p I already knew about this semiparliamentary system but I didn't rule it out because I don't want to repeat the same political system in all my alternative stories that I have in development or planned.

Well, if there's no other answer. I will with my proposal mentioned with some changes. Thanks to all who have answered this and the previous thread. Greetings.
