The amendments on the oath of the parliamentarians and members of the government were introduced in the Constitution of the Republic in the referendum that took place on May 22, 2016.
The order of the oath of the deputies of the lower chamber and members and the upper house of parliament is regulated by the laws “On Majlisi Oli of the RT” and “On the Legal Status of a Member of Majlisi Milli and Deputy of Majlisi Namoyandagon Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan.”
