flag Guineans voted in a disputed constitutional referendum on Sept. 21, 2025, amid a boycott, security crackdowns, and international concern over democratic erosion.

flag Guineans voted in a constitutional referendum on September 21, 2025, in a process marked by a heavy security presence and a widespread opposition boycott. flag The vote, which aims to transition the country from military rule after a 2021 coup led by Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya, could allow him to run for president under a new constitution that removes previous bans on military leaders seeking office. flag With 6.7 million eligible voters, the referendum faced criticism for lacking fairness, as opposition voices were silenced through arrests, party suspensions, and media restrictions. flag A dominant "yes" campaign, backed by the government, contrasted with minimal "no" efforts, largely confined to social media and exile. flag The African Union and ECOWAS have maintained sanctions, and the UN urged transparency. flag Results are expected by Tuesday, with the outcome shaping Guinea’s political future amid regional concerns over democratic backsliding.
