As of 2026-10-08, Guinea-Bissau is governed by a military transitional authority and its legislature is an appointed Transitional National Council, not an elected parliament. The approved constitutional changes reduce the future legislature from 102 to 65 seats and expand presidential powers; the prime minister is not directly elected.
