Ahmad bin Haji Mohd Daud was a Bruneian aristocrat and civil servant who was the chairman of the committee from 1953 to 1954, assigned the duty of gathering opinions on the proposed Constitution of Brunei from both rural and urban residents, producing an extensive report, and offering guidance to Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III during the writing process.
Ahmad Daud received his education at an English school in Labuan.
Ahmad Daud began his civil career with the Brunei government, starting as a clerk in the Customs Department on 1 January 1925 and later serving as a clerk to British Resident Eric Ernest Falk Pretty in 1928.
Ahmad Daud served as the Controller of Food Rationing under the Japanese occupation of Brunei in World War II, which lasted from 1941 until 1945.
Pehin Ahmad Daud joined the Tujuh Serangkai, an assembly set up by the Sultan in July 1953 to gather opinions from the general public across the country in preparation for the formulation of Brunei's formal constitution.
Ahmad Daud served as one of the District Advisory Council and "Observer" of the State Council until April 1957 and later as an Unofficial member of the State Council from March 1957 to September 1959.
