Guinea's Military Junta Sets up Election Body for Upcoming Votes
- Guinea's military junta led by Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya established the Directorate General of Elections to manage the constitutional referendum in September and elections in December 2024 and 2025.
- The junta seized power in 2021 and agreed in 2022 to a democratic transition with a deadline of December 31, 2024, which it failed to meet, sparking opposition protests in January that paralyzed Conakry.
- The DGE is tasked with overseeing elections, maintaining the electoral register, and upholding election integrity, with its two leading officials selected through a decree issued by the president, as stated by Doumbouya on state television.
- More than 50 political parties were dissolved last year by the military regime, which also tightened control over media by cutting social networks, suspending private radio, and attacking journalists.
- These developments correspond with the scheduled referendum on September 21, 2024, and general elections in December 2025, though concerns remain about election credibility under the current military leadership.
