Guinea’s newly elected President Mamady Doumbouya has reappointed Amadou Oury Bah as prime minister under his new government, less than two weeks after being sworn into office. Bah previously served as prime minister during the transitional period and will continue in the role as the country moves forward with its post‑election administration.
The announcement was made via a televised decree that also outlined plans for a cabinet composed of 27 ministries and two secretaries‑general, with further appointments expected in the coming days. The decision reflects continuity in leadership as Doumbouya, who won December’s presidential election, consolidates his civilian government following years of military rule.
Officials have said the reappointment aims to ensure stability and maintain momentum on key national priorities, including economic development, public sector reforms, and preparations for upcoming elections. Guinea’s political landscape has undergone significant transition efforts since the 2021 coup that brought Doumbouya to power, and this step signals a continuation of that process under newly established constitutional arrangements.
Observers note that while some see Bah’s return as a move toward administrative continuity, others are watching closely to see how the new government balances reform expectations with the demands of a diverse political landscape.
