Political parties backing Guinea's coup-leader-turned-President Mamady Doumbouya have won a majority in the bauxite-rich West African country's legislative elections. The pro-Doumbouya Generation for Modernity and Development (GMD) coalition and its allies secured at least 100 out of the 147 legislative seats, according to provisional data. The final distribution of seats is still being determined, and parties have eight days to challenge individual results before final results are announced. Nationwide voter turnout was 52.87% for the legislative contests and 58.51% for communal elections, held simultaneously. Major opposition parties, including those of former President Alpha Conde and opposition leaders Cellou Dalein Diallo and Sidya Toure, were dissolved and not permitted to participate in the vote. This outcome is set to further consolidate Doumbouya's position, following his seizure of power in 2021 and subsequent presidential term win.
