Government to Focus on Legal Reforms Instead of Amendments

President Mohamed Muizzu has said the government is not planning any additional amendments to the Constitution, citing the outcome of the recent public referendum as a clear indication of public sentiment.

The President made the remarks while responding to questions from journalists about the nationwide vote held on the 4th of this month.

According to Muizzu, the results of the referendum suggest that citizens are not in favour of further changes to the Constitution. He said the administration would respect that position and refrain from introducing new constitutional reforms.

“The message from the people is clear — constitutional amendments are not something broadly supported at this time,” he said.

While ruling out further changes to the Constitution, the President emphasised that the government will continue to pursue reforms through existing legal frameworks.

He noted that adjustments to laws and policies remain necessary to address national priorities, adding that such changes would not require altering the Constitution.

Muizzu said the government’s decisions are being shaped by public opinion, describing the referendum outcome as an important reflection of the people’s will.

He added that previous constitutional amendments were undertaken based on perceived public demand, but stressed that future reforms will be aligned with the direction now expressed by voters.

The President reiterated his commitment to maintaining close engagement with citizens, stating that the administration will continue to listen to public concerns while shaping policy decisions moving forward.
