Vote counting was underway in some polling stations in Guinea Sunday evening in the referendum on a draft constitution that could allow the leader of the country’s junta to run for the presidency. Some say it is a way for General Mamadi Doumbouya, who took power by force four years ago, to seek the presidency and legitimize his military rule. The general remains popular with much of the population, and many young people have been enamored with his vision of a prosperous, developed Guinea. The referendum was organized by the Directorate General of Elections, a new body that will oversee the vote count and whose two heads were elected by Doumbouya. Guinea is one of a growing number of West African countries, including Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, where the military has taken over.
