Guinea’s government has initiated a referendum on a new constitution designed to revise legal frameworks. The proposed changes include extending presidential terms to eight years and granting military personnel the right to run for public office. Opposition parties have formally rejected the vote, citing concerns about potential authoritarianism and limitations on democratic participation. The referendum is part of a broader crackdown on dissent and civil liberties in Guinea, following recent security incidents and legal challenges. The government maintains the constitution’s provisions are vital for stability and governance.
