Guinea will on Sunday start the campaign period for a constitutional referendum for a return to civilian rule after the military seized power in 2021.

The vote will be held on September 21.

The draft constitution does not make it clear whether interim leader General Mamady Doumbouya could stand as a candidate in the next presidential election.

But government officials and supporters have repeatedly called on Doumbouya to stand in the election.
