Africa-Press. Guinea’s political landscape has seen a significant development following the presidential election held on December 28, 2025, during which President Mamadi Doumbouya and his wife Lauriane Doumbouya cast their votes at a polling station in Conakry.
After playing a central role in managing the electoral campaign, the president’s campaign director has now handed over the task to Prime Minister Bah Oury, who is officially leading efforts to launch a new political project aimed at establishing the long-anticipated presidential party.
Bah Oury has already begun consultations with political forces and movements that supported the president’s campaign, seeking to unite them under the banner of the Guinean Democratic Bloc Party (GMD), which is expected to serve as the official political arm of President Doumbouya and his governing agenda.
The prime minister described the current moment as a decisive political turning point, stating that continued fragmentation among pro-presidential movements would undermine political stability, hence the urgent need to form a strong and unified political party.
An official announcement of the party is expected in the coming weeks, starting with the creation of a provisional executive committee tasked with preparing a founding congress once organizational arrangements are completed.
According to Bah Oury, the main objective of this initiative is to move from spontaneous popular support to a structured political organization capable of managing candidacies, defining responsibilities, and building cohesive political institutions to support the president’s program.
Political analyst Kabinet Fofana noted that the swift move to form a party after the election was necessary, explaining that the president’s support base remains more of a political movement than a fully institutionalized party. He cautioned, however, that allocating positions within the new party could spark internal disputes among early supporters, government officials, and latecomers—posing a key challenge for the party’s future leadership.
