Guinea-Bissau: Guinea-Bissau Votes in Referendum On Giving President More Powers

Voters in military-run Guinea-Bissau will cast ballots on Sunday in a referendum that could give the president more powers ahead of general elections scheduled for December 6. The referendum follows a coup less than 10 months ago, and the junta has approved a constitutional amendment to switch from a parliamentary to a presidential system. Voters will answer 'yes' or 'no' to the question of whether they agree with the new constitution.
