Overview
- The Interior Ministry’s decree strips the parties of legal status, closes their headquarters and assigns a state-appointed curator to manage and transfer assets.
- Major opposition groups UFDG, RPG and UFR are among those dissolved, with their names, logos and emblems prohibited from use.
- UFDG leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, speaking from exile, called for direct resistance and accused President Mamady Doumbouya of building a one-party state.
- Officials say parties failed to meet obligations such as filing financial statements, while several targeted groups insist they complied with the law.
- Doumbouya seized power in a 2021 coup and won a December election that barred top rivals, setting the stage for tightly controlled politics before the expected May parliamentary vote.
