Guinea Conakry: What should prevail, Business or political affairs?
Repelled several weeks as a result of discords on the results of the first tour, this second round will make the difference between the former Prime Minister, Cellou Dallein Diallo, and the opponent Alpha Condé and will give one winner for the Guinean people.
This presidential election is supposed to be the end of political authoritarianism decades in Guinea, the former French colony that recovered independence in 1958, and a complete shift from a military junta to a civil regime.
Both rivals have formulated political projects including many similarities, and both intend in particular to revise mining contracts signed with multinationals as Vale and Rio Tinto companies. Does that mean the economic considerations will prevail on the political issues? Or does that mean the socio-economic problems have to be integrated in the global geo- political issue of the sub region? The outcome of the ballot will answer those questions, depending on how the Guinean voters would like to project their immediate future… but also on how the political campaign has been oriented or influenced.
