Guinea-Bissau’s voters approved a constitutional reform that would give the president power to appoint and dismiss the prime minister and ministers, dissolve parliament and reduce its seats from 102 to 65. Authorities reported a 70% “Yes” vote, but opposition groups called the referendum legally invalid and a continuation of the military coup.
