One ‘party state’: Guinea dissolves main opposition parties
AI Summary
Guinea's government dissolved 40 political parties, including the three main opposition groups, on Friday, March 8, 2026. The decree, issued by the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation, cited the parties' failure to meet legal obligations as the reason. The order strips the parties of their legal status, freezes their assets, and prohibits the use of their names and symbols. The dissolved parties include the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFDG), the Rally of the Guinean People (RPG), and the Union of Republican Forces (UFR), all of which were already suspended. UFDG leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, in exile, condemned the move as a step towards a one-party state and called on Guineans to resist President Doumbouya's government.
