The general Mamadi Doumbouya will he ultimately be a candidate for the future presidential election in Guinea? If the question of the constitutional referendum promised before the end of the year was not raised on Friday October 18 during the first council of ministers organized in three months in Conakry, the president of the transition nevertheless ordered the members of his government to ‘go soon’ report on their management » on national television and to accelerate the Simandou 2040 socio-economic, sustainable and responsible development program.

Likewise, although neither the population census nor the electoral register are ready, public initiatives intended to show support for the CNRD junta are increasing in the prefectures.
