Guinea’s coup leader Mamady Doumbouya is running for president in December 28 elections, reversing his earlier pledge, amid repression and international cautious support.
Guinea’s military leader Mamady Doumbouya, who seized power in a 2021 coup, is running in the December 28 presidential election after reversing his earlier pledge not to seek office.
He now leads as an independent under the GMD movement, leveraging economic reforms in the mining sector, including the Simandou iron ore project, and infrastructure development to gain support.
His campaign comes amid political repression, with opposition leaders barred, media suspended, and protests banned.
While his rule has brought relative stability compared to neighboring nations, critics view his candidacy as a power consolidation effort.
International actors, including France, the U.S., and ECOWAS, have maintained engagement, reflecting cautious approval of his economic progress and non-aligned stance.
