Constitutional Referendum: Guinea-Bissau’s transitional authorities have set a national referendum for Aug. 30, asking voters “Yes” or “No” on whether a newly approved constitution should enter into force, after a Supreme Court opinion. The vote will be universal, direct, secret and personal, with the National Transitional Council currently acting as the legislature since the Nov. 2025 takeover. Presidential Power Push: A separate constitutional change would shift the country further toward a presidential system, letting the president appoint the prime minister and government and dissolve parliament; transitional leader Gen. Horta N’Tam would not be allowed to run in the Dec. 6 elections. Health Alert: Guinea-Bissau confirmed its first mpox case: a 27-year-old woman, diagnosed after samples were tested in Dakar, prompting national response measures and contact tracing. Sports: CAF confirmed Guinea-Bissau’s league leaders are still awaiting confirmation for the 2026/27 Champions League qualifiers, while Nigeria’s slots go to Enugu Rangers and Rivers United.
