AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Constitutional Referendum Finalized: Guinea-Bissau’s National Electoral Commission has validated the August 30 constitutional referendum results, confirming a 70% “yes” vote (63% turnout) with no appeals filed—moves that expand presidential executive powers ahead of the December 6 elections and follow the November 2025 coup. Parliament vs. Presidency Power Shift: Under the approved reforms, the president can appoint and dismiss the prime minister and cabinet, create or abolish ministries, and dissolve parliament in a grave political crisis, while the National Assembly is set to shrink from 102 to 65 seats; the main opposition PAIGC boycotted the vote, warning safeguards are weak and democracy is at risk. Military-Civil Tensions: A Guinea-Bissau MP, Manuel Nascimento Lopes, publicly apologized to the military after remarks made during ECOWAS Parliament proceedings, stressing he did not intend to attack the armed forces—highlighting the still-sensitive political climate around the transition. Regional Diplomacy: Serbia’s foreign minister met Guinea-Bissau’s top diplomat in Belgrade, agreeing to deepen political ties and strengthen economic cooperation.
