Tunisian president says errors found in new draft constitution

Tunisian President Kais Saied said on Friday that errors were found in the country’s new draft constitution, which will be presented on July 25 to a referendum.

In his speech on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important festivals for Muslims also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, Saied said some errors had been detected in the draft’s form and structure.

The president did not give any details on the errors.

“The draft of the new constitution will be subject to certain corrections, in order to avoid any misinterpretations or even false understanding,” said Saied, adding the draft will be issued after correction.

The draft constitution, published in the Journal of the Republic of Tunisia on June 30, comprises 10 chapters and 142 articles
