The transitional council in the Central African Republic has adopted a constitution designed to form the base of a new government as the country attempts to turn a page on years of violence.
President of the council, Alexandre-Ferdinand Nguendet, said the constitution must pass a referendum set for October the 5th followed by legislative and presidential elections on October the 18th, with a second round slated for a later date in October.
The transitional council, which passed the constitution on Sunday with a large majority, was established under interim President Catherine Samba-Panza to lead the country to fresh elections.
The constitution obliges ministers to sign off on decisions by the president and prime minister.
