The Constitution of Burundi was adopted by referendum on February 28, 2005 and promulgated on March 18, 2005.
On May 12, 2017, a draft revision of the constitution of Burundi was announced.[1] The final draft was announced on October 25, 2017, and provides for the creation of a post of Prime Minister, the transition from a five-year to a seven year presidential term, the term limit will be one consecutive and the threshold of adoption of the laws would go from two thirds to the absolute majority.[2] With these changes, the Arusha Accords are de facto abrogated.[3] In January 2018, during the campaign for the referendum, the Burundian authorities arrested opponents of the changes.[4] Finally, the text also provides for the possibility of restoring the monarchy.[5]
The referendum was held on 17 May, 2018. The constitutional reform was promulgated on 7 June, 2018.
