One general, one mathematician: The men competing for power in two African elections

In two African nations, Guinea and the Central African Republic, presidential elections are set to take place. The incumbent presidents in both countries are strong favorites to win. The CAR, marked by ongoing instability, hopes for continued progress under President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, while Guinea faces political transitions following a recent coup, with Gen Mamadi Doumbouya vying for power. Despite challenges, international partners are closely watching these elections for signs of stability and democracy in the region.
