Political parties

The Democratic Party of Guinea-African Democratic Rally is a political party in Guinea. The party was founded as a branch of the African Democratic Rally (RDA) in June 1947. On 19 October 1958 the party severed its links with the RDA, other members of which supported a closer union with France. The party's leader, Sékou Touré, became the country's first president. Two years later, he declared the PDG to be the sole legal party in the country. As president of the PDG, Touré was the only candidate for president of the republic, and as such was elected unopposed to four seven-year terms. Every five years, a single list of PDG candidates was returned to the National Assembly. After the fall of the Touré regime in 1984, the PDG was dissolved.

The Unity and Progress Party is a political party in Guinea. It was the ruling party during the long rule of President Lansana Conté.

The Union for the Progress of Guinea is an opposition political party in Guinea. In the parliamentary election held on 30 June 2002, the party won 4.1% of the popular vote and 3 out of 114 seats.

It led to the deposition of President Luís Cabral, who held the office since 1973, while the country's War of Independence was still ongoing.
