Guinea is gearing up for a national referendum scheduled for September 21, but opposition concerns over the voter register are threatening to overshadow the process.

The government unveiled the electoral roll over the weekend, listing more than 6.7 million registered voters. The data was compiled through a recent biometric civil registry exercise.

However, several opposition groups have disputed the figures, raising questions about transparency and inclusiveness in the voter registration process.

Despite the tensions, authorities say preparations remain on track, with the electoral commission continuing logistical arrangements for the upcoming vote.
