flag Guineans voted in a disputed constitutional referendum enabling military leader Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya to run for president, amid opposition boycotts and suppressed dissent.

flag Guineans voted in a constitutional referendum on September 21, 2025, in a process marked by a boycott from opposition groups who called it a "charade" to enable junta leader Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya to run for president. flag The proposed constitution, which removes previous bans on military leaders seeking office, is seen as a key step toward planned December elections, though critics highlight widespread suppression of dissent, including suspended political parties, arrested leaders, and restricted media. flag With 6.7 million eligible voters and heavy security deployed across the country, the "yes" campaign dominated public spaces while opposition voices were largely silenced. flag The outcome could shape Guinea’s political future amid regional concerns over democratic backsliding, as the African Union and ECOWAS continue to exclude Guinea from meetings. flag Results are expected by Tuesday.
