Former Guinean prime minister reappointed to government

Guinea’s former Prime Minister, Amadou Oury Bah, has been reappointed to the role he previously held by the new government, as reported by Maghrebi Week on February 2nd.

He had previously served in this role for nearly two years under the military junta government, established in 2021 following a military coup. Bah’s reappointment was announced on January 26th, less than two weeks after the newly elected President Mamadi Doumbouya was sworn into office.

Doumbouya won the presidential election held on December 28th, 2025, in which he reportedly received 86.7% of the vote; his popularity is allegedly linked to his embrace of resource nationalism, as Guinea holds vast iron ore reserves.
