ECOWAS issues statement on Gambia’s Draft Constitution

Aug 19, 2024, 10:54 AM

The ECOWAS Commission congratulates the Government of the Republic of The Gambia on the publication of the draft Constitution in the Official Gazette. The gazetting represents an important milestone in the process of building a new constitution that reflects the aspiration and vision of the Gambian people.

The Commission recognises that no constitution is perfect. It therefore calls on the government and the people of the Gambia to focus on the greater national interest as they scrutinize the draft document prior to its presentation to a national referendum.

The ECOWAS Commission commends all the stakeholders, including partners, and renews the Community’s commitment to supporting the people of The Gambia as they embark on this important process that will usher in a new dawn for the country.
