According to the constitution, a constitutional amendment must be passed by a two‑thirds majority in both House A (120 members) and House B (80 members) and then approved in a national referendum that requires at least \(50\%\) voter turnout and at least \(60\%\) ‘yes' votes. In a recent attempt, House A recorded 78 votes in favour, House B recorded 55 votes in favour, the referendum had a turnout of \(48\%\) of the 10 million registered voters, and \(62\%\) of those who voted chose ‘yes'. Did the amendment pass?
