This is to ensure that all citizens are well-informed and can plan accordingly, avoiding any potential disruptions or misunderstandings. By referring to official sources, individuals can stay up-to-date on the latest information and make necessary arrangements as needed. The Ministry emphasizes the importance of verifying information through official channels to prevent the spread of misinformation and to promote a more efficient and effective observance of public holidays.

The Ministry of the Interior is committed to keeping the public informed about important national events and holidays, and it is hoped that citizens will take advantage of this information to plan their activities and celebrations. We encourage everyone to mark their calendars for Friday, 9 January 2026, and to participate in the various events and activities that will be organized to commemorate Constitution Day.
