Guinea’s military government has announced that a referendum on a new constitution will be held on September 21, 2025 . This vote is viewed as a critical juncture in the nation’s transition, following the 2021 coup that brought the current junta to power . The referendum aims to replace the existing constitution, which was suspended after the military takeover.
The announcement, made by military leader Mamady Doumbouya, marks a significant step in what the junta claims is a move toward restoring democracy . However, skepticism remains about the true intentions of the military leadership and the fairness of the electoral process. The vote is seen as a key test of the junta’s commitment to returning Guinea to civilian rule. A successful and credible referendum could unlock further international support and investment for the nation.
The outcome of the referendum will significantly shape Guinea’s political landscape. A new constitution could redefine the powers of the president, parliament, and judiciary, potentially impacting the balance of power within the government. It remains to be seen whether the new constitution will address key issues such as term limits, human rights, and the role of the military in civilian affairs. 
As Guinea approaches this pivotal moment, the world will be watching closely to see if this referendum genuinely reflects the will of the people and paves the way for a stable and democratic future.
