Guinea-Bissau votes to give president more power in military-backed referendum
Guinea-Bissau voted Sunday on a proposed new constitution that would sharply increase presidential powers and reduce the size of parliament. The referendum is seen as a test of the military government's plan to reshape the political system ahead of December elections. If approved, the new charter would mark a major shift in how the country is run.
