Africa-Press. <\/strong> <\/span>The recent legislative and municipal elections in Guinea have reignited the debate about the nature of the political phase the country has been experiencing since the coup in September 2021. The Movement for a New Generation for Modernity and Development, which supports President Mamadi Doumbouya, secured a sweeping majority in the new parliament, in a vote that saw the absence of major opposition political forces and was marred by allegations of procedural violations and voter pressure. Critics have raised doubts about the ability of these elections to end the transitional phase and restore the country to a pluralistic constitutional rule.<\/p>\n

According to preliminary results announced at the end of last week, the ruling movement won 93 out of 147 seats in the National Assembly, as reported by a local source, while five parties that signed a coalition agreement with the presidential camp secured an additional 34 seats. This gives President Doumbouya and his allies at least 127 seats in the upcoming parliament, ensuring near-total political control over the legislative authority.<\/p>\n

The dominance was not limited to the legislative elections; initial results from the municipal elections, which were held concurrently with the parliamentary vote, also showed the ruling movement making significant gains in a wide range of municipalities, according to a local media outlet. This strengthens their political and administrative presence at both the national and local levels.<\/p>\n

Authorities claim that these elections represent the final stage of the political transition and mark a gradual return to constitutional order after years of military rule. However, opponents of the government argue that what occurred is merely a reproduction of power under an electoral facade lacking genuine competition.<\/p>\n

Official Participation and Silent Boycott<\/b><\/p>\n

Guinean authorities announced that the participation rate was 52.87% in the legislative elections and 58.51% in the municipal elections, figures that officially indicate a moderate level of participation. However, field reports from international media painted a different picture in some major urban areas.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press reported that turnout appeared relatively weak in the capital Conakry and the city of Labe\u0301, known for its significant opposition political weight, especially since the vote came just days after Eid al-Adha, a time when many Guineans return to their home villages to celebrate with family, which may have affected voting rates.<\/p>\n

However, the opposition contends that the low turnout is also due to a loss of trust in the political process, given the absence of real competition and guarantees of equal opportunities among different political forces.<\/p>\n

Voting Without Major Opposition<\/b><\/p>\n

A notable feature of the recent elections was the absence of key opposition forces from the electoral race, as the government dissolved several major parties and suspended the activities of others in March. This left most of the participating candidates aligned with the presidential camp or allied political forces.<\/p>\n

Opposition figures and groups called for a boycott of the elections, describing them as an “electoral farce” aimed at providing a formal legitimacy to a political system that, according to them, is heading towards the establishment of a “new dictatorship” under an institutional guise.<\/p>\n

In this context, critics argued that the absence of organized opposition deprived the elections of a natural competitive element, turning them into an indirect referendum on the existing authority rather than an opportunity to choose political representatives reflecting the diversity within Guinean society.<\/p>\n

The security and political situation also raised questions about the environment in which the voting took place, amid ongoing restrictions on public protests and political gatherings.<\/p>\n

Allegations of Violations and Voter Pressure<\/b><\/p>\n

The elections did not pass without controversy regarding the integrity of the electoral process. The Guinean Democratic Front, which came second in the presidential elections held last December with 6.6%, condemned what it described as an assault on one of its candidates in the city of Mamou on the eve of the vote.<\/p>\n

According to the Associated Press, the candidate was attacked by two masked individuals on a motorcycle, an incident that raised concerns about the atmosphere of political intimidation surrounding the elections in some areas.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the West African Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) documented several violations during the voting day, including four confirmed cases of voter pressure and electoral corruption practices, primarily concentrated in the Siguiri region.<\/p>\n

The mission also noted a lack of essential electoral documents, such as voting minutes and result sheets, in 6.2% of polling stations, particularly in the Labe\u0301 area, raising questions about the administrative and organizational readiness of the process.<\/p>\n

Observers also recorded the absence of representatives from political parties in more than 16% of reported cases, which was seen as an additional indicator of weak party oversight during the voting.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the report highlighted direct interventions by local administrative officials, particularly deputy governors or sub-prefects, in some areas such as Siguiri and Madina Salamandi, raising concerns about the neutrality of local administration.<\/p>\n

The Liberal Bloc, one of the parties that participated in the elections, condemned what it described as violations that marred the counting and aggregation of results in several districts, asserting that these violations undermine the credibility of both the legislative and municipal elections.<\/p>\n

Doumbouya: From Coup Leader to Elected President<\/b><\/p>\n

These elections mark a new phase in the trajectory of President Mamadi Doumbouya, who came to power through a military coup in September 2021 that ousted former President Alpha Conde\u0301, justifying his move at the time as necessary to save the country from corruption, mismanagement, and political divisions.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the transitional phase, Doumbouya pledged to return power to civilians after a defined transitional period. However, the political landscape has gradually changed with the consolidation of his grip on state institutions.<\/p>\n

In December, Doumbouya won a seven-year presidential term in elections that the opposition contested and accused the authorities of tightening the noose on competitors.<\/p>\n

Supporters of the president argue that he has succeeded in restoring relative stability to the country and improving some economic indicators, particularly in the mining sector, which is the backbone of the Guinean economy. Critics, however, claim that the government is moving towards re-establishing a centralized system that monopolizes political decision-making.<\/p>\n

Concerns Over Long-Term Political Dominance<\/b><\/p>\n

The current results raise increasing concerns about the future of political plurality in Guinea, especially with the presidential camp holding a comfortable majority in parliament, which may allow for the easy passage of laws and constitutional reforms.<\/p>\n

The Institute for Security Studies has warned that political institutions in Guinea are at risk of becoming structures subject to the dominance of a single political force if the exclusion of opposition parties and the restriction of civil space continue.<\/p>\n

Human rights reports have also indicated that the government has suspended the activities of several parties, banned political protests, and arrested figures from the opposition and civil society, steps that critics say diminish the margin for political freedoms.<\/p>\n

In contrast, authorities assert that the measures taken are aimed at maintaining security and stability and preventing political chaos, arguing that the transitional phase required exceptional measures to ensure the stability of the state.<\/p>\n

Cautious African Stance<\/b><\/p>\n

Regionally, the African Union has sent an election observation mission at the invitation of the Guinean government, signaling the continued engagement of the continental organization in monitoring the political transition process.<\/p>\n

However, the Africa Amani Center indicated that the African Peace and Security Council may call for corrective measures, including allowing opposition parties to operate again, given the political environment in which the elections took place and the exclusion of a wide range of political forces from participation.<\/p>\n

This cautious stance reflects an African awareness of the sensitivity of the situation in Guinea, where regional institutions seek to support a return to constitutional order without granting full legitimacy to a political process that may be accused of exclusion.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the recent elections appear to be a significant turning point in Guinea’s political future, but they simultaneously raise profound questions about the meaning of a return to constitutional rule in the absence of a strong opposition and the near-total dominance of the executive authority over elected institutions. While the government claims that the transitional phase is nearing its end, its opponents argue that the country may have entered a new phase of centralized rule under an electoral guise that raises more doubts than it dispels.<\/p>\n
