PAIGC calls for boycott of Sunday referendum

Observador29 August 2026 at 00:14

PAIGC, the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde, called on the population to boycott the referendum scheduled for Sunday. The party considers the vote illegitimate in the current political context of the country.

The PAIGC leader described the referendum as a coup against democracy. The party's position reinforces the opposition to the popular consultation process being promoted by the authorities.

The referendum comes two months after a coup d'état occurred in November 2025. This context of political instability marks the environment in which the vote is being held.

PAIGC is a historic party in Guinean politics, and its decision not to participate in the referendum represents a significant challenge to the authorities who promoted the consultation.
