Guinea-Bissau political map redefined
The article discusses the Guinea-Bissau referendum aimed at amending the constitution to grant the president broader powers, including appointing and dismissing the government, dissolving the parliament, and reducing its seats from 102 to 65. These amendments come amid political tension and opposing opposition, which called for a boycott. There are concerns that these changes could concentrate power in the hands of the president, potentially impacting the country’s stability, especially with the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for December 2023. Analysts believe that the results of the referendum and the subsequent elections will determine whether the new constitution successfully stabilizes the country or reintroduces centralized authority, with the legitimacy of the process ultimately depending on the level of political participation and the implementation of genuine democratic safeguards.
