Consolidation
In the original Constitution(1980). Chapter VI, containing sections 64 to 72, provided for "The Exec utive" and Chapter IV provided for "The President". With the introduction of the Executive Presidency
by Amendment No. 7 (Act No. 23 of 1987), the original Chapter VI fell away and Chapter IV, now
providing for "The Executive", assumed its present shape; the counterparts of the former sections 64
to 72 are now to be found in Chapter IV.
