Guinea's Coup Leader Enters Presidential Race
The military commander who has ruled Guinea since a coup four years ago has entered the presidential race ahead of next month's election, breaking an earlier promise to hand power to a civilian government.
Junta leader Mamady Doumbouya was widely expected to run. He submitted his candidacy at the Supreme Court on Monday, flanked by soldiers and wearing black sunglasses.
Two of Guinea's biggest opposition parties - RPG Arc en Ciel and UFDG - have been excluded from December's contest, raising concerns about the election's credibility.
Gen Mamady Doumbouya did not make any public comment.
