Guinea votes on a new constitution that could let military leader Gen. Mamady Doumbouya run for president, amid opposition boycott and concerns over fairness.
Guinea holds a constitutional referendum on September 21, 2025, in a move that could allow military leader Gen. Mamady Doumbouya to run for president after seizing power in 2021.
With 6.7 million eligible voters, the vote is boycotted by major opposition groups who call it a sham to legitimize military rule.
The proposed constitution would extend the presidential term to seven years with one renewal, create a Senate, and include gender quotas, but also imposes restrictions that disqualify key opposition figures.
Critics cite widespread suppression of dissent, including dissolved parties, media restrictions, and alleged political disappearances.
Despite concerns over fairness and transparency, pro-referendum messaging dominates, and results are expected soon, with the outcome likely favoring approval.
