The West African country led by the military voted on Sunday on reforms allowing the president to appoint and dismiss the prime minister and cabinet, create or abolish ministries and dissolve parliament in the event of a grave political crisis.
Under the current constitution, Guinea-Bissau's legislature names a prime minister who appoints a cabinet.
The constitution will cut the size of parliament to 65 seats from 102 and reduce the number of electoral constituencies to 12 from 29.
It also requires presidential candidates to have lived continuously in Guinea-Bissau for the preceding five years.
