The Constitution of Rwizikuru, 2020 (weRwizi: Bumbiro reRwizikuru) is the governing document of the Kingdom of Rwizikuru.

It was first announced by Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe on 2 August, 2019, as part of a deal with the Global Institute of Fiscal Affairs, in which Rwizikuru would receive €100,000,000, which also included structural adjustment: as the terms included removing the Rwizikuran monarch's financial powers, a constitution was seen as necessary to replace the Basic Law of Rwizikuru. On 1 October, 2019, after preparations, and electing twelve of the twenty-seven members of the constitutional assembly, new monarch Munashe Ngonidzashe formally began the proceedings.

Preamble

Since the implementation of the Rwizikuran Basic Law in 1964, our loyal subjects have been denied the right to have a meaningful voice in the affairs affecting the Rwizikuran nation
Over the past few decades, it has become abundantly clear that Rwizikurans are no longer content with the absolute monarchy currently in place
With the Rwizikurans now in a better position than under the Father of the Nation and Izibongo the Great's rule, it is clear that the Rwizikurans have now achieved the capacity to govern themselves
Therefore, we promulgate this constitution, to balance the interests of our loyal subjects, and the traditional systems that we have in place
