Guinea elections: Coup leader Mamady Doumbouya enters presidential race

Guinea's upcoming December election is causing a stir, as Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, the military leader who seized power in a coup four years ago, has entered the presidential race. Despite promising to return power to civilians, he now faces criticism for excluding opposition parties, imposing high fees for candidacy, and restricting media access. The new constitution allows him to run, and many Guineans are uncertain if the election will bring real change or simply legitimize military rule. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
