The handover comes a year after the military ousted President Ali Bongo, whose family had ruled the country for over fifty years.
Before handing over the document, the Minister of Institutional Reform summarised the main changes which he said were the abolishment of the position of prime minister and seven-year term for a president, renewable once.
The text said a president attempting to amend these provisions will be found guilty of high treason.
The president may dissolve parliament, but can also be impeached by members of parliament and senators in the event of high treason.
In addition, it elevates the soldiers who overthrew the Bongo regime to the rank of “Heroes” and they will benefit from an amnesty law.
While there are many challenges still ahead, the military government has promised to hold elections in August 2025.
