Guinea's Junta Leader Doumbouya Enters Presidential Race
Military leader Mamady Doumbouya has formally submitted his candidacy for the December 28 presidential election, breaking an earlier promise to hand power to a civilian government.
Doumbouya, 40, had promised not to run when he seized power in 2021, but a new constitution pushed by the military government and approved in a referendum in September opened the door to his candidacy.
- Candidates must live in Guinea and be between 40 and 80 years old.
- Following the coup, members of the military government were barred from running for office under the new charter.
Opposition groups, including the Living Forces of Guinea alliance, have denounced Doumbouya's candidacy as a betrayal of his earlier promises and a setback for democracy.
