A constitutional referendum will be held in Kyrgyzstan on 11 December 2016.[1]
Background[edit]
The post-independence constitution was introduced in 1993, with modifications made following referendums in 1996, 1998, 2003, 2007 and 2010. However, the current constitution prohibits any amendments being made until 2020.[2] The original version of the 2010 constitution has been lost.[3]
Proposed changes[edit]
The proposed changes to the constitution include increasing the powers of the Prime Minister and Supreme Council, as well as making reforms to the judicial system.[2] They have been put forward by five parties.[2]
