Guinea is preparing for a pivotal moment as Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah called on citizens to mobilize for a “Yes” vote in the upcoming constitutional referendum scheduled for September 21, 2025.
In a public statement, Bah addressed compatriots with a message emphasizing unity, progress, and national renewal. “On Sunday, September 21, we will have a date with our destiny.
On that day, each and every one of us will be able, with responsibility and pride, to write a new page in our common history,” he said.
The Prime Minister described the proposed draft Constitution as “the fruit of our struggles, our deep aspirations, and our collective desire to build a fairer, more democratic and more united Republic.”
According to Bah, the text aims to enshrine the rule of law, strengthen fundamental freedoms, and offer new opportunities for Guinea’s stability and development.
Drawing historical parallels with the nation’s 1958 constitutional milestone, Bah urged citizens to see the referendum as a chance “to turn the page of uncertainties, to open another, marked by unity, reconciliation and confidence in our future.”
He highlighted that the draft has been debated across cities, rural areas, and diplomatic missions, giving citizens time to engage with its content.
Bah stressed that the “Yes” vote is intended to represent collective national interests rather than partisan divides.
“This Yes is not that of one camp against another. It is that of a united and standing Guinea, choosing the path of stability, progress and restored dignity,” he said, framing the vote as a choice for peace, modern institutions, and a strong legacy for future generations.
The Prime Minister called on all Guineans, including those living abroad, to participate actively in the referendum. “Let us make this referendum the living expression of our democracy and our common desire to forge our collective destiny,” he urged.
Concluding his message, Bah emphasized unity and national pride: “Together, let us carry this message of unity, renewal, and cohesion. Together, let us make Guinea triumph. Long live the Republic, long live the Refoundation, long live Guinea!”
The government has announced plans to intensify public engagement over the coming weeks to ensure widespread understanding and participation in the vote.
