The constitution includes provisions allowing for a coup leader, Mamady Doumbouya, to potentially serve as president if he chooses to. While the exact details of the arrangement remain to be determined, the approval signifies a significant shift in political dynamics following the recent military coup. The constitution details governance structures and limits the scope of the military’s power, representing a complex and evolving political landscape.
