Guinea’s Coup Leader Enters Presidential Race

The military commander who has ruled Guinea since a coup four years ago has entered the presidential race ahead of next month’s election, breaking an earlier promise to hand power to a civilian government.

Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya submitted his candidacy at the Supreme Court on Monday, flanked by soldiers and wear- ing black sunglasses. He did not make any public comment.

Two of Guinea’s biggest opposition parties – RPG Arc en Ciel and UFDG – have been excluded from December’s contest. This has raised concerns about the election’s credibility, reports the BBC.
