Guinea Bissau Army general Horta N'Tam is sworn in as the transition leader and the leader of the High Command in Bissau on November 27, 2025.
Guinea-Bissau will hold a referendum on constitutional reform on August 30, according to a decree published on Monday by the transitional president, General Horta Ntam, some ten months after the coup d'état led by General Horta N'Tam.
Military-run Guinea-Bissau will hold a referendum later this year on whether to approve a constitutional change giving the president more powers, according to a government decree published on Monday.
The army seized power of the coastal west African nation in November 2025, just days after a presidential election, overthrowing the head of state and suspending the electoral process.
The ruling junta has since unanimously approved a constitutional amendment for the country to switch to a presidential system from a parliamentary one.
