00:00In Guinea, provisional results from a constitutional referendum show that over 90% of voters support exchanges that could allow military leader, General Mahmadi Dumboya, to run for president.
00:14With the turnout exceeding 91%, the referendum marks a significant step in transitioning from military to civilian rule, though critics argue it's a power grab.
00:23Dumboya, who ousted president Al-Faconde in 2021, has not confirmed his candidacy for the upcoming elections.
00:32The draft constitution allows junta members to run for office and extends the presidential mandate from five to seven years, renewable twice.
00:40It also creates a senate where one third of the members will be appointed by the president.
00:45The directorate general of elections created under Dumboya's administration reported that 90.06% voted yes alongside claims of opposition suppression and media restrictions.
00:58Despite calls for a boycott from opposition leaders, many citizens are hopeful for positive changes under Dumboya's leadership, citing recent developments in infrastructure and civic engagement.
01:12Elections are anticipated later this year, but a date has yet to be set.
