*Mamadi Doumbouya Elected President of Guinea with Over 86% Majority Votes*
In a highly anticipated election, Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya has been officially declared the winner of Guinea’s presidential race, securing a commanding 86% of the vote.
The official announcement was made by the Directorate General of Elections (DGE), marking a significant moment in the West African nation’s political landscape.
Doumbouya, who assumed power in a military coup in September 2021, ran as the sole candidate in this election, after the transitional government he leads paved the way for a return to civilian rule.
The overwhelming victory of the 41-year-old military leader has been met with little surprise, given the absence of strong opposition candidates and widespread support for his leadership within the country.
The DGE confirmed that Doumbouya’s candidacy had garnered more than 86% of the total votes, affirming his dominance in the political process.
The result comes after months of preparations and the establishment of a transition plan to guide the country towards civilian governance. The election, initially set to be a competitive race, ultimately saw Doumbouya as the uncontested figure in Guinea’s political future.
International observers have closely watched the process, noting concerns over the lack of opposition parties and potential limitations on freedom of expression during the campaign period. However, despite these concerns, the election was carried out without major incidents of violence or fraud, according to the DGE’s official reports.
Doumbouya’s rise to power was propelled by his military coup that ousted former President Alpha Condé, who had been in office for over a decade. Since then, Doumbouya has promised to restore order and lead Guinea through a transitional period, with eventual plans for democratic elections.
His government has prioritized reforms in the military, public administration, and anti-corruption measures, though critics have raised questions about the pace and transparency of these efforts.
As the newly elected president, Doumbouya now faces the challenge of fulfilling his promises to the Guinean people while managing both internal and international expectations. His leadership will be closely scrutinized as the country moves forward in the transition to full democracy, with many hoping for political stability and economic growth in the years ahead.
The official results were confirmed by the Directorate General of Elections, which has played a central role in overseeing the election process and ensuring the accuracy of the vote count. Doumbouya’s inauguration as president is expected to take place in the coming weeks, as preparations for the transfer of power continue.
In the wake of his decisive victory, Doumbouya has called for national unity and reconciliation, urging all Guineans to put aside differences and work together for the betterment of the country.
