Shock at $100,000 fee to contest Guinea elections, with Junta leader Mamady Doumbouya yet to confirm candidacy. The high deposit and costs for candidates have sparked criticism, with only those who are wealthy or well-connected seen as able to compete. Guinea's upcoming elections mark a potential transition from military to civilian rule, with notable absences including former leaders Alpha Condé and Cellou Dalein Diallo.
