Doumbouya came to power in 2021 after leading a military coup that ousted then-President Alpha Condé. At the time, he held the rank of colonel and said the military intervention was necessary to restore order, promising a transition to civilian rule. However, he later announced his candidacy for the presidency, a decision that marked a shift from earlier assurances of handing over power to civilians.
