What constitutional changes were approved in Comoros in the 2018 referendum?

The constitutional referendum held in Comoros in July 2018 introduced several significant changes to the nation's governance:

• Elimination of the rotating presidency: The referendum ended the system that had required the single-term federal presidency to rotate among the three islands since 2001.
• Presidential term limits: The changes allowed a president to serve up to two terms.
• Executive authority: The president was granted the power to eliminate the positions of the three vice presidents.
• State religion: The constitution was amended to designate Islam as the state religion, ending the country's secular status.

These measures were part of a broader constitutional framework that has been amended periodically since the 2001 constitution.12
