Chadian constitution of 2023

The Constitution of the Republic of Chad (French: Constitution de la République du Tchad) is the supreme law of Chad.[1] It is Chad's ninth constitution since independence from France in 1960 and was officially adopted on 28 December 2023 following a constitutional referendum held on 17 December.[2] It replaced the 2018 Constitution.[3]

The text establishes the Sixth Republic with the main framework of a decentralized unitary state, a semi-presidential republic (reverting the change to a full presidential system that had been made in 2018), officially re-establishing the post of Prime Minister, lowering the presidential term from six to five, with re-election permitted just once, limiting the minimum age for the presidency from 40 to 35, diving the country into 23 provinces, officially creating a Senate, and strengthening the independence of the judiciary.
