Guinea's Coup Leader Doumbouya Wins Presidency in Landslide Victory

In Guinea, coup leader Doumbouya has won the presidency with a landslide victory in the recent elections, garnering 86.72% of the votes in the first round. The voter turnout stood at 80.95%, with concerns raised by opposition groups and civil society organizations over the credibility of the polls.

Doumbouya seized power in a coup in 2021, ousting the country's first democratically elected president, Alpha Condé. Despite some irregularities alleged by opposition figures like Faya Millimono, the election results have marked a significant shift in Guinea's political landscape.
