Guinea plans complementary elections in 2027 for the new communes, new prefectures and two new regions, as well as the election of senators. Minister Djenabou Touré announced the schedule during the installation of the new director general of elections, Mohamed Aly Condé, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
Guinea will hold municipal, legislative, senatorial and regional elections in 2027 to fill seats in the new local authorities and complete the assemblies of existing communes and regions, Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation Djenabou Touré announced on Friday.
The elections will notably concern the new communes resulting from the administrative division, as well as the new prefectures and the two new regions, which must elect their senators. Djenabou Touré said the election of senators would take place after an amendment to the organic law governing the Senate’s rules of procedure.
The minister also announced the installation of Mohamed Aly Condé as head of the Directorate General of Elections. She explained that she had proposed his appointment to the President of the Republic, who approved it. Mohamed Aly Condé had notably participated in organising the referendum, the presidential election and the combined legislative and communal elections, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
Djenabou Touré also thanked the Supreme Court for its advisory opinion, which she said had made it possible to finalise the 2026 electoral process. She believes the opinion avoided a deadlock linked to legal and administrative issues, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
