Guinea’s High Authority for Communication grants each regional election candidate five minutes daily on Guinea’s Rural Radio and partner private radio stations. The measure, scheduled from 9 to 28 November from 20:15, aims to guarantee equal speaking time before the 29 November vote, according to the HAC.
Guinea’s High Authority for Communication (HAC) has set the airtime allocated to each candidate in the 29 November regional elections at five minutes per day, as part of the “Campaign Journal”. Decision No.0045/HAC/P/2026, adopted on 6 November, provides for daily broadcasts from 20:15 on Guinea’s Rural Radio and partner private radio stations in the special zone of Conakry.
Campaign messages will be produced and broadcast free of charge under the responsibility of the HAC, in order to ensure equal speaking time for candidates, according to the regulatory body. The radio stations concerned must retain their usual programmes outside the Campaign Journal and refrain from any propaganda either favourable or unfavourable to a candidate.
In Conakry, the arrangement notably involves Radio Tropical FM in Kaloum, Radio Évasion FM in Ratoma, Radio CAVI FM in Matoto, Radio Renaissance FM in Gbessia and Radio Afrikinfo FM in Sonfonia. Guinea’s Rural Radio stations will also participate in broadcasting the messages in the other constituencies, according to the HAC.
