Zambia
The Technical Committee on Constitutional Amendments has concluded its countrywide Public Sittings, marking a significant milestone in Zambia's constitutional reform process. Committee Chairperson, Justice Christopher Mushabati, expressed gratitude to Zambians for their overwhelming response to the national exercise, with thousands of submissions received from across the country. The consultations, which took place from October 27 to November 13, 2025, saw participation from diverse stakeholders, including traditional leaders, youth, women, persons with disabilities, freedom fighters, civic leaders, and the general public. The high level of participation demonstrates the people's patriotism, commitment to democracy, and constitutionalism, which are prerequisites for national unity and development. This process is intended to strengthen constitutional democracy, enhance citizen participation, and ensure that the supreme law of the land reflects the aspirations, diversity, and evolving governance needs of the Zambian people.
