In Guinea, General Mamady Doumbouya, who led the 2021 military coup, has been declared the winner of the country’s first presidential election since the coup. The results, announced late on December 31, 2025, are based on incomplete counts but show a decisive victory for Doumbouya. This outcome has attracted significant international attention due to the recent political instability in Guinea.
The 2021 coup removed former President Alpha Condé and initially raised hopes for political reform. Despite Guinea’s rich natural resources, including bauxite and iron ore, many citizens continue to grapple with poverty and food insecurity, driving widespread demands for progress and stability.
General Doumbouya’s victory represents a major turning point as Guinea seeks to transition toward civilian governance under a leader who first assumed power through military action. However, both domestic and international observers are closely scrutinizing the election process and its legitimacy.
Amid the nation’s evolving political environment, key questions remain about Guinea’s future path and the potential for genuine democratic governance.
