This monthly update tracks developments under the July National Charter 2025 during the monitoring period of July 15 to August 20, 2026. The update examines the continued debate over Charter implementation and reviews developments across key reform areas, including constitutional reform, presidential powers, parliamentary independence, and anti-corruption institutions.

During this period, the reform debate remained focused on the question of how the July National Charter should be implemented. While the government continued to emphasize constitutional amendments through parliamentary procedures, opposition parties and other stakeholders continued to demand broader institutional reforms aligned with the referendum mandate.

The August update highlights developments related to the constitutional reform mechanism, the structure of the proposed bicameral legislature, presidential election and authority reforms, parliamentary voting independence, and the restoration of Anti-Corruption Commission leadership after a prolonged vacancy. It also examines how political positions, institutional decisions, and legal developments shaped the progress and challenges surrounding Charter implementation.

This update documents these developments provision by provision, assessing whether commitments have advanced, remained contested, or continued to face institutional and political barriers during the monitoring period.
