Quotes

  • Let me correct you: this is not my third term, but my first term under the Fourth Republic, adopted by referendum. A referendum which, moreover, was not unprecedented in the history of Guinea: remember the one in November 2001 establishing a seven-year term renewable for life for President Lansana Conté, a liberty-curbing provision whose most ardent supporter at the time was a certain Cellou Dalein Diallo.

Encyclopedic overview

Alpha Condé (N'Ko: ߊߟߑߝߊ߫ ߞߐ߲ߘߍ߫; born 4 March 1938) is a Guinean politician who served as the fourth president of Guinea from 2010 to 2021. He spent decades in opposition to a succession of regimes in Guinea, unsuccessfully running against then-President Lansana Conté in the 1993 and 1998 presidential elections and leading the Rally of the Guinean People (RPG), an opposition party.

Standing again in the 2010 presidential election, Condé was elected president in a second round of voting. Upon his election, he said he would strengthen Guinea as a democracy and fight corruption.
