Provisional results showed 92% of voters backed the new constitution.

Critics say it is designed to allow coup leader Brice Oligui Nguema to remain in power.

The new law removes the prime minister’s position and introduces two vice-president roles.

It is being seen as an attempt to end the family succession phenomenon.
