Guinea-Bissau counts votes on constitution expanding presidential powers
Guinea-Bissau began counting referendum ballots on a constitution that would let the president appoint or dismiss the prime minister and dissolve parliament.
Guinea-Bissau counted ballots after Sunday's referendum on replacing its parliamentary system with a presidential one. Provisional results were expected Tuesday.
The proposal would give the president authority to appoint and dismiss the prime minister and dissolve parliament. The military government says the changes would stabilize institutions before elections scheduled for December 6, while opposition groups urged a boycott.
