The Constitution of 1960

[Shilling]

"Article 74

Disability, Resignation, Death

1. In case of death, resignation, or permanent disability of the
President of the Republic, the National Assembly shall meet within thirty
days to elect a new President of the Republic."


As the Constitution says when President Sharmarke was assassinated the National Assembly met to elect a new President, unfortunately before a clear winner was declared the military took power in 1969 by force.
