Guinea to Vote on New Constitution, Potentially Allowing Junta Leader to Run

Guinea to Vote on New Constitution, Potentially Allowing Junta Leader to Run

Guinea is having a vote on a new set of rules, called a constitution.

This new constitution could allow the current leader, who took power in a coup, to run for president.

Some people support it, saying it will bring order.

However, others are against it, worrying the vote isn't fair.

Critics say the leader promised not to run.

The new constitution would also make the president's job last longer and create a new group of people in charge.

More than six million people can vote, and the constitution passes if more than half of them approve.
