A constitutional referendum was held in Rwanda on 17 December 1978. It followed a coup by Juvénal Habyarimana in 1973 and the dissolution of the former sole legal party, MDR-Parmehutu. The new constitution created a presidential republic with no term limits for the President, and made the National Revolutionary Movement for Development the sole legal party. It was approved by 89.9% of voters.[1]
