The new constitution would lengthen the presidential term from five years to seven, renewable once, and create a Senate, with one-third of senators directly appointed by the president.


Guinea, which is home to the world's largest reserves of bauxite, is expected to hold its presidential election in December after the government missed a 2024 deadline.


The interim leader Mamady Doumbouya, who seized power in a military coup in 2021, has not said yet whether he intends to run for office.
