The head of Tunisia's constitution committee said he will hand over the new draft constitution to the president on Monday, and added that it will be a democratic constitution.
Sadok Belaid, a former law professor who was named by president Kais Saied to write "a new constitution for a new republic", said it would be ready on time.
The president intends to put the new constitution to a referendum on July 25, though the opposition has said it will boycott the plebiscite.
