AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoConstitutional Referendum: Guinea-Bissau voters have provisionally backed a new constitution with 70% “yes” (about 544,060 voters, turnout near 60%), expanding presidential powers ahead of December elections after the November 2025 coup. The reforms let the president appoint and dismiss the prime minister and cabinet, create or abolish ministries, and dissolve parliament in a grave political crisis, while cutting parliamentary seats from 102 to 65; the main opposition PAIGC boycotted the vote, warning it concentrates power and undermines safeguards for a return to civilian rule. Diplomatic Moves: Serbia’s foreign minister met Guinea-Bissau’s top diplomat in Belgrade to push stronger political and economic ties, marking momentum since diplomatic relations were established last year. Migration and Humanitarian Pressure: Spanish authorities report dozens dead after a boat left Gambia and drifted for 26 days toward the Canary Islands; 45 survivors were rescued near Gran Canaria. Regional Politics: ECOWAS’s new chief, General Birame Diop, urged deeper unity and engagement with the Alliance of Sahel States, arguing geography and shared threats make cooperation unavoidable.
