A constitutional referendum was held in the Comoros on 5 November 1989. The proposed amendments to the constitution would allow incumbent President Ahmed Abdallah to run for a third term, as well as creating the post of Prime Minister. The changes were approved by 92.5% of voters.[1]

On 26 November Abdallah was killed during a coup led by Said Mohamed Djohar.
