 Guinea's Doumbouya wins presidential election


Guinea military leader Mamadi Doumbouya has been elected president, according to provisional results announced on Tuesday, completing the return to civilian rule in the West African country.


The former special forces commander, thought to be in his early 40s, seized power in 2021, toppling then-President Alpha Conde, who had been in office since 2010.


It was one in a series of nine coups that have reshaped politics in West and Central Africa since 2020.


The provisional results announced on Tuesday showed Doumbouya winning 86.72% of the December 28 vote, an absolute majority that allows him to avoid a runoff, Reuters reports.


The Supreme Court has eight days to validate the results in the event of any challenge.
