Journalists were invited on September 20 to a “press lunch” at Camayenne Beach, where the spokesmen of the presidency and the government served them a very large menu: the candidacy for the next presidential election for the disgraced Mamadi. Good luck to all the Guineans!
To confirm the legitimacy of their manager for the next presidential election, Amara Cas-marrant and Ousmane Gawa Diallo showed their ability to juggle. In no time, they put together a restrictive transition that was still in place and promoted a comprehensive, though incomplete, constitution. In their eyes, Mamadi Doum-bouillant can stand validly, legitimately, as a candidate for the next presidential election. Like any other Guinea. No swearing!
“President Doumbouya is a Guinean citizen like everyone else. There is nothing preventing him from applying to govern Guinea. Not only in legal terms does it have the possibility, but it also has an absolute quality today. There are no restrictions regarding the constitution for him to go to an election tomorrow in the Republic of Guinea,” considered Amara Cas-marrant who is ashamed. The Transitional Charter, to which the current leaders are sworn, prevents members of the CNRD, the government and the CNT from being candidates for selection to return to constitutional order. But for ministers speaking, this text is ancient history. They prefer to invoke a preliminary draft of a constitution that has not yet been adopted. As if they were already expecting the result of the constitutional referendum.
“I would say, why not apply? The president I know, who is currently in charge of the country, is not a banker. When the time comes, if he decides that he is going to run for the votes of Guineans, he will say so in good time. Going to the polls does not mean using the will of the people of Guinea. If the time, the context, the situation demands it, it will be done and it is to face the challenges. If there is a candidacy, it will comply perfectly with legality and that legality will come from the constitution that we will adopt together. » What happens if the Guineans reject a constitution that paves the way for the current leaders to stay in power? Or are the dice already loaded, and the upcoming election consultation just a formality? “What will be presented to the Guineans will be a constitution that will allow new institutions to be built. And it is on the basis of the latter that the eligibility criteria and conditions of Paul or Pierre will be listed,” insists the spokesperson of the presidency.
the free man
Let’s put the legal-constitutional questions aside. The legitimacy of such a candidacy would come from the fact that the development of Guinea would be poor without the current transitional president. “Today’s issue is not the problem of President Doumbouya’s candidacy, it is the fear of Guineans that they may have a lower level of governance after him. Everything that has been done in three years is starting to overwhelm many people, it is starting to worry. What Guineans need today is for this dynamic to be equal to or greater than what President Doumbouya is doing today. If President Doumbouya were still asked on a national scale to continue his work, I think, as part of the dynamics of restoration, continuity, progress and prosperity as it is today, this is the dynamic I subscribe to. . The objectives of the Guineans are to have a level of governance that is as stable, true, as strict as it is today,” insisted the presidential spokesperson.
Amara Cas-marrant uses the “big welcome” reserved for the transition president on his return from Beijing as a barometer, to determine that Guineans support his wishes. At the beginning of September, he sent touts to Guinea Forest to promote the presidential candidacy of Mamadi Doum-bouillant. “They said I sent emissaries to support the boss’s candidacy. I confess that I have slept with this thought and woke up with it. Therefore, what was said in Macenta may have been a dream that came to light on the field,” he is happy. Announced in the region for the same reason, he said he was being held back by professional obligations. But it’s just a postponement.
The presidential election to legitimize the junta
In the timetable approved by the CNRD junta, the presidential election was to take place after the other elections (municipal and community, legislative). But now, the junta intends to reverse the order of things. A decision that she presents as a symbol of goodwill on her part to end the transfer. “All the elections will take place in Guinea in 2025. The first consultation will take place before the end of this year, when the constitution will be adopted. And since it is at the level of the supreme judiciary that the communities and the international community feel the best about democratic progress, we could even start with the presidential election as a guarantee of commitment,” announced the first, Mori-Sans -Dents Kouyaté, the Minister. of Strange Affairs, to convince the OIF to reintegrate Guinea, suspended from its authorities since its inception.
Only when we listen to the megaphone of the presidency, we understand that the purpose is not to legitimize the putschist. “We are not a government that does not listen to the concerns and expectations of the public. We were in the neighborhood yesterday, we continue to be in touch with what is going on in the neighborhood. This allowed us to know that Guineans today are thirsty to see the face of their future president. Therefore, the government is open to any request in this direction so that the elections could be held, even if it means starting from the top. If the question is raised, it is much better for us to start at the top so that we can finally see, my wish, the face of our champion,” Amara Cas-marrant showed. Which is worth clarifying, right? `
