- Dissolution of all government bodies except the National Assembly;
- Abolition of the current Constitution, with a referendum planned for a new charter;
- Appointment of a new prime minister to form a transitional government;
- A transition period lasting up to two years before a return to civilian rule.
The situation remains tense as citizens and international observers await further clarification on how the transition will proceed and whether the National Assembly will maintain legislative continuity during the interim phase.
