几内亚的军事领袖杜姆布亚(Mamady Doumbouya)在12月的选举中竞选总统, Guinea's military leader, Mamady Doumbouya, is running for president in December’s election, defying his prior promise, amid concerns over fairness and suppressed opposition.

几内亚军事领袖Mamady Doumbouya已宣布参选12月28日总统大选, Guinea's military leader Mamady Doumbouya has announced his candidacy for the December 28 presidential election, reversing his earlier pledge not to run. 9月的全民投票批准了新宪法,解除了对军事领导人竞选公职的禁令,从而使他得以入境。 His entry is enabled by a new constitution approved in a September referendum that lifted bans on military leaders running for office. 这次选举是2021年政变以来的第一次选举,由于前总统阿尔法·孔德和前总理切卢·达莱因·迪亚洛等主要反对派人物被禁止竞选,而且10万美元的高额候选存款使许多人望而却步。 The election, the first since the 2021 coup, faces criticism over fairness, as key opposition figures like former President Alpha Conde and ex-Prime Minister Cellou Dalein Diallo are barred from running, and a high candidacy deposit of $100,000 has deterred many. 自政变以来, 军政府镇压持不同政见者、限制媒体, 并禁止抗议活动。 The junta has suppressed dissent, restricted media, and banned protests since the coup. 国际观察员仍然对这一进程持谨慎态度,因为杜姆布亚试图在新的七年总统任期内延长他的统治。 International observers remain cautious about the process, as Doumbouya seeks to extend his rule under a new seven-year presidential term.
