A Constitutional Referendum in Guinea Could Lead to a Return to Civilian Governance

After four years under a military junta, Guinea may return to civilian governance following Sunday’s constitutional referendum. Mamadi Doumbouya, the military leader, will be permitted to run for president based on the outcome of the referendum.

Four years after former president Alpha Conde was overthrown and the military seized control, Guinea’s referendum saw a return to civilian government as voters waited in line to cast their ballots in the Kaloum suburb of Conakry as polls opened at 7 a.m.

One of the main features of the proposed constitution is that it would permit Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya, the military head of the nation, to run for president, something that is currently illegal in Guinea.

Although I was unable to read all of the articles I came across, the vast majority of them were pertinent to our interests. Thus, I have faith in (the referendum), she declared. Doumbouya criticised the previous government for its broken promises and claimed he was acting to keep the country from devolving into anarchy when he came to power in the 2021 coup.

According to the World Food Program, more than half of Guinea’s 15 million inhabitants live in “unprecedented levels of poverty and food insecurity despite the country’s abundant natural resources. Doumbouya’s vision of a prosperous and thriving Guinea has captured the hearts of many Guineans who were disillusioned with earlier governments.
