Guineans voted on Sunday in legislative and municipal elections five years on from a 2021 coup.

Almost seven million people were eligible to cast ballots.

Voters are electing 147 members of parliament.

The Forces Vives de Guinee coalition of the main opposition and civil society groups had called for the election's boycott following the ban of several opposition parties in March 2026.

Campaigns unfolded peacefully and the early voter turnout was low, AFP journalists in Conakry reported.

Doumbouya's election

Doumbouya, who seized power in September 2021, was elected president for a seven-year term last December.

He had initially promised to hand power back to civilians at the end of a transition period.
