Overview
- The elections director said partial results would be released Monday as vote counting and centralization continue.
- Mamady Doumbouya, who seized power in a 2021 coup, ran against eight lesser-known candidates after a new constitution enabled junta members to stand and extended presidential terms to seven years.
- Opposition leaders in exile urged a boycott, and the UN rights chief reported intimidation, alleged enforced disappearances and constraints on media during the campaign.
- Turnout was announced at 85 percent by the electoral authority shortly after polls closed, while other official messaging cited 92 percent and opponents disputed the figure.
- Voting proceeded without major incidents under a heavy security presence in Conakry, as Doumbouya touted projects such as Simandou and recent state takeovers in the mining sector.
