Guinea is set to swear in Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya as the country’s President on January 17, 2026. The inauguration follows his rise to power after leading a military coup, which ousted the previous administration.

Authorities have confirmed that preparations are underway for the official ceremony in Conakry, with security and protocol measures put in place to ensure a smooth event. Invitations have been extended to local and international dignitaries.

Doumbouya, who has led Guinea since the coup, is expected to deliver a speech outlining his vision for the nation, focusing on stability, economic growth, and political reforms. Analysts anticipate that his inauguration will mark a significant moment in Guinea’s political history.

The event will be closely watched by regional and global leaders, as Doumbouya’s presidency may influence Guinea’s relations with the African Union, ECOWAS, and other international partners.
