Guinea-Bissau voters back new constitution
Voters in Guinea-Bissau approved a new constitution that significantly increases presidential powers, allowing the president to dismiss the prime minister, create or abolish ministries, and dissolve parliament. The referendum, organized by the military government that seized power last November, was supported by 70% of voters with nearly 60% turnout. The opposition boycotted the vote, citing concerns that the reforms threaten democratic governance amid ongoing political instability.
