Guinea votes on Sunday in a presidential election widely expected to hand Mamady Doumbouya , who seized power in a 2021 coup, a seven-year mandate, completing the West African nations transition back to civilian rule.

The former special forces commander, believed to be in his early 40s, faces eight other candidates in a fragmented field with no strong challenger.

Ousted president Alpha Conde and longtime opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo remain in exile.
