Guinea’s Junta Chief Runs for Presidential Election After 2021 Coup | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Guinea prepares for a significant political transition with elections following four years of military rule. General Mamadi Doumbouya, the junta leader, is contesting the election, seeking a seven-year presidential term. Recent large crowds rallied in support of Doumbouya in Conakry, where he campaigned on stability and economic reforms, including the Simandou iron ore project. While eight candidates are listed, major opposition figures remain absent, creating concerns about a predetermined outcome. The new constitution, approved amid an opposition boycott, permits junta members to run for office. Voter turnout is anticipated to be significant, reflecting the public's desire for positive change amid economic hardships.
