Kyrgyzstan – Draft constitution

The draft constitution of Kyrgyzstan is now available in English from the Venice Commission website. In addition, there are also documents that flesh out the current interim constitutional situation. The draft constitution is clearly semi-presidential, as defined in this blog.

Given the ongoing violence in Kyrgyzstan, particularly in the south, there is a doubt as to whether the referendum that is due to be held on 27 June will go ahead. The referendum is designed for people to have the chance to vote on the draft constitution. RFE/RL reports that the government is still determined to hold the referendum.
