The Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation in Guinea has announced that it will evaluate a new group of 37 political parties on Tuesday, November 5.
National Director of Political Affairs and Electoral Administration Camara Touré outlined the steps of the upcoming evaluation.
She said the political representatives must collect data tools, including questionnaires, at the ministry’s office in Kaloum on November 5 and 6. They will have two weeks to complete data collection, mirroring the timeline given to previous parties.
According to her, this process requires parties to gather a range of administrative documents, including copies of the party charter, bank statements from the past three years, and certified financial statements.
Touré added that parties must provide current and verified details, such as a list of founding members validated by a congress, the identities of founding members, and proof of training sessions, including the dates, attendees, and participants’ roles within the party.
Field teams will visit party headquarters, capturing images and geolocation data and verifying compliance with administrative standards. She warned that if discrepancies or incomplete documents arise, it may affect the evaluation process, potentially resulting in suspension or other administrative actions.
This evaluation follows an initial review that resulted in the dissolution of 53 political parties, the suspension of 54 others, and placed two major opposition parties under observation. West Africa Weekly reported that these parties failed to meet basic administrative and legal requirements following evaluations by the Guinea authorities.
This wave of assessments, intended to ensure compliance with legal standards, will add to the initial 915-page report documenting findings from earlier evaluations. It aligns with the government’s goal to create a fair and transparent political system as it transitions into civilian rule.
