83.6 vote yes on new constitution

    ABIDJAN
    Official results announced by Niger's Conseil electoral national independent (CENI) show that 89.57 percent of the 4.2-million voters said yes in a referendum on a new constitution to a power-sharing role between the president and prime minister, Niger's Voix du Sahel radio reported on Tuesday. But voter turnout was 31.16 percent for the 57 constituencies counted. The results will now go to the Constitutional Chamber of the Surpreme Court for endorsement.
