Guineans headed to the polls on December 28, 2025, and this week the provisional results landed: military leader–turned–candidate Mamady Doumbouya scored a whopping 86.72% of the vote, according to the General Directorate of Elections. 🗳️
The announcement came on Tuesday, and with an impressive turnout of 80.95%, the West African nation wraps up its transition back to civilian rule. Doumbouya, 41, faced eight rivals—but key opposition figures were barred and called for a boycott, raising questions among observers. 🤔
Next up, the Supreme Court has eight days to validate the results in case of any challenges, meaning we’ll see a final green light by January 7, 2026. If all goes smoothly, Doumbouya’s seven-year term kicks off, marking a new chapter for Guinea. 🚀
For young folks keeping an eye on global shifts in governance, Guinea’s vote is a reminder of the twists and turns in democracy. Stay tuned to see how this new mandate unfolds on the world stage! 🌍
