Voters in Guinea are preparing to cast their ballots today in the country's first presidential election since the 2021 military coup. The vote marks a key step in the West African nation's return to civilian rule, with experts widely expecting junta leader, General Mamadi Doumbouya to secure victory. Meanwhile, in the Central African Republic, citizens will also head to the polls today for presidential and legislative elections. Incumbent President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, in power since 2016, is favored to win a third term after a 2023 constitutional change abolished presidential term limits. For more on this we are joined by African Centre for Governance Election Observation Mission deputy head, Tendai Mbanje
