Guinea Ushers in New Constitution, High Approval Rate

Provisional results indicate that Guinea’s new constitution, approved by voters, has garnered 89% support. The document outlines significant changes to the political system, potentially allowing Mamady Doumbouya, the junta leader, to serve as president. The vote was a significant step in recent political developments following a period of instability. The constitution addresses key areas including electoral reforms and judicial independence. The exact percentage of votes cast is still being verified, but the outcome suggests broad consensus on the new framework.
