The constitution promulgated on August 25, 1973, abrogated the original 1964 constitution.

3 " The 1973 constitution provided for a strong president and a unicameral National Assembly. National policy was formulated by the Central Committee of the United National Independence Party (UNIP), the sole legal party in zambia . The cabinet executed the central committee's policy. In December 1990, at the end of a tumultuous year that included riots in the capital and a coup attempt, President Kenneth Kaunda signed legislation ending UNIP's monopoly on power. In response to growing popular demand for multi-party democracy, and after lengthy, difficult negotiations between the Kaunda government and opposition groups, zambia enacted a new constitution in August 1991. The constitution allowed for more than one presidential candidate who no longer had to be a member of UNIP.

4 The constitution was amended again in 1996 to set new limits on the presidency (including a retroactive two-term limit, and a requirement that both parents of a candidate be Zambian-born).

The National Assembly consists of 150 elected members, 8 nominated members and the Speaker. Its main function is to enact laws. However, it has a major role on terms of providing checks and balances to the other organs of Government, particularly the Executive. Article 51 of the Constitution stipulates that the Cabinet and Deputy Ministers are collectively accountable to the National Assembly. The National Assembly has the power to ratify appointments made by the president of certain constitutional office holders and other offices.
