RTP Notícias4 September 2026 at 18:10

The two main opposition party platforms to the regime in Guinea-Bissau, PAI-Terra Ranka and API-Cabas Garandi, today urged the international community not to legitimize the constitutional referendum, considering it fraudulent. The opposition parties issued a joint appeal asking the international community not to recognize the referendum results.

The constitutional referendum in Guinea-Bissau has been contested by opposition forces, who allege irregularities in the process. The opposition platforms classified the referendum as fraudulent, questioning its democratic legitimacy.

The Guinean opposition's appeal to the international community comes in a context of political tension in the country. The opposition parties hope that international pressure may influence how the referendum is received and recognized internationally.
