CONAKRY (Reuters) -Voters in Guinea have overwhelmingly backed a new constitution that could allow coup leader Mamady Doumbouya to run for president if he chose to, according to partial results released late on Monday.
The constitution looked set to pass with 90.6% votes in favour and 9.4% against, Djenabou Toure, head of Guinea's General Directorate of Elections, told reporters. Those figures were based on roughly 91% of votes cast in the referendum.
