World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported17m ago
Citizens in Guinea-Bissau are participating in a national referendum to determine whether to grant expanded powers to the presidency. The vote takes place ahead of general elections scheduled for December, which are intended to transition the West African nation back to democratic governance following a recent coup.
The current military government, which seized power last year, initiated the constitutional amendment process. The outcome of the referendum is expected to shape the executive authority of the future administration as the country prepares for its upcoming return to civilian rule.
