Guinea coup leader Mamady Doumbouya has been elected president, according to provisional results, paving the way for a return to civilian governing after a military takeover nearly five years ago.
The provisional results announced on Tuesday showed Doumbouya winning 86.72 percent of the vote held on December 28 – an absolute majority that allows him to avoid a runoff.
