Overview
- Official partial results read by electoral chief Djenabou Toure show Mamady Doumbouya exceeding 80 percent in many Conakry districts and leading strongly across multiple regions.
- The General Directorate of Elections reported turnout at 85 percent, a figure rejected by a citizens' movement that called the vote a boycott-driven 'electoral charade.'
- Several candidates, including Abdoulaye Yero Balde, alleged serious counting-center irregularities such as blocked access for agents and ballot stuffing, with others decrying 'electoral banditry.'
- UN human rights chief Volker Turk said the campaign was severely restricted, citing intimidation of opposition figures, enforced disappearances, and constraints on media freedom.
- Key opposition leaders were barred from running and urged a boycott, as Doumbouya reversed an earlier pledge not to seek office while highlighting resource projects such as Simandou.
