On September 26, 2008, the 2500-member People's Council of Turkmenistan adopted a new constitution, which envisioned a new multi-party political process and placed limits on presidential power following the death of longtime autocrat Saparmurat Niyazov in December 2006.

Political reforms began in Turkmenistan shortly after the country was accused of human rights abuses in March 2007.
