The Constitutional Assembly officially commenced the process of drafting Sri Lanka's Third Republican Constitution on 6 April 2016 with the prime promise to abolish the Executive Presidency, to introduce electoral reform and to provide a constitutional resolution for the national issue. It is vital for the National Unity Government to forge a constitution that consolidates democracy and creates an environment to prevent the recurrence of another ethnic conflict.
