The Tunisian Electoral Commission announced the approval of the new constitution and its entry into force as of Tuesday, adding that this was after President Kais Saied promulgated it and it was published in the Official Gazette.
“The constitution comes into force with the announcement of the final results, its promulgation by the president and its publication in the official journal,” Commission chief Farouk Bouasker said on Tuesday.
He said the fact that appeals against the referendum process had been rejected “confirmed the integrity and transparency of ISIE,” the North African country’s electoral commission.
With the Independent High Authority for Elections announcement of the final results of the referendum, the constitution of July 25, 2022, will enter into force as per the provisions of its 139 Chapter, which stipulates that the constitution shall enter into force from the date of the final referendum announcement by the Independent High Authority for Elections.
The Commission officially accepted the new constitution of the Republic of Tunisia, after completing the preliminary and appellate decisions on the appeals, provided that its full text will be published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Tunisia within the next few hours.
