Guinea’s constitutional referendum has resulted in a decision allowing former military leader Mamady Doumbouya to potentially run for president. The referendum, held on Sunday, addresses a contentious issue regarding the constitution’s provisions regarding presidential succession. Doumbouya, who seized power in 2021, repeatedly stated he would not contest the presidency. The decision allows him to formally seek the office if he chooses to, a move that has significant political implications for the country. The outcome of the referendum is currently subject to legal review.
