Guinea's referendum on a new constitution may allow junta leader Mamady Doumbouya to run for president, despite opposition boycott and human rights concerns.
Guinea is holding a pivotal referendum on a new constitution that could allow junta leader Mamady Doumbouya to run for president, despite his earlier pledge not to seek office.
The vote, boycotted by opposition groups, aims to replace a transition charter that barred military leaders from elections.
If approved, the new constitution would extend the presidential term, create a Senate, and include progressive measures like gender parity and a High Court of Justice, though candidate age and residency rules may disqualify key opposition figures.
The junta has faced criticism for cracking down on dissent, including arrests and media suspensions, while promising a return to civilian rule by year's end.
