Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dawda Jallow, on Monday presented the new draft constitution for the first reading at the National Assembly in Banjul.
The second reading of the Bill is expected today Tuesday, September 15, 2020.
The New Draft Constitution is one of the most important documents to be tabled for discussion at the National Assembly for consideration. It attracts attention from so many Gambians who are keenly following the developments.
If the document is approved by the National Assembly, it would subsequently lead to a referendum for the endorsement of Gambian people. And this would eventually usher in the Third Republican Constitution for the Republic of the Gambia.
Meanwhile, the new draft constitution would require absolute majority of votes in the National Assembly. It would take at least, 42 votes out of 57 members for it to be promulgated.
