Yes, as the Office of the President is largely ceremonial now. In this referendum, there are a few notable changes to the constitution that will give the President more official powers as seen below.

##1.

The existing parliamentary system of government will be replaced with an executive presidency and a presidential system. This means that the office of the Prime Minister will be abolished, thus giving more authority to the President in deciding the policies of the country.

##2.

The President will be given more authority over Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors appointments.

##3.

Also, the incumbent President can now hold the office until 2029, with 1 more 5-year term compared to currently.
