Following his landslide first-round victory in the December 2025 elections, Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya has officially formed a 20-member government.
This cabinet represents the first major administrative action of his new term, following an inauguration attended by several regional leaders, including ECOWAS Chairman Julius Maada Bio. The lineup confirms the reappointment of Amadou Oury Bah as Prime Minister, signaling a desire for continuity as the nation transitions from its previous interim status into a formalized democratic phase.
The new administration strikes a balance between seasoned veterans and fresh strategic appointments. Ousmane Gaoual Diallo continues his role as Minister of Transport and will serve as the primary government spokesperson, assisted by Djami Diallo, the Minister of the Environment. In the critical economic sector, Mariama Ciré Sylla has been entrusted with the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Budget, while Bouna Sylla takes charge of the Ministry of Mines and Geology. These appointments are central to the “Simandou 2040” initiative, a signature economic plan focused on leveraging Guinea’s vast mineral wealth to drive local job creation and infrastructure growth.
Security and international relations remain high priorities for the Doumbouya administration. General Ahmed Mohamed Oury Diallo has been named Minister of Security and Civil Protection, while Morissanda Kouyate retains the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Integration, and Guineans Abroad. Education has been divided into two key pillars led by Alpha Bacar Barry and Diaka Sidibe, focusing on everything from basic literacy and vocational training to advanced scientific research.
The social and cultural sectors are rounded out by appointments such as Khaite Sall in Public Health and Patricia Adeline Lamah in charge of Women, Family, and Solidarity. As this new team takes office, the focus shifts toward fulfilling the President’s campaign promises of institutional strengthening and inclusive development. By maintaining a lean, 20-member structure, the administration aims to demonstrate a commitment to efficient governance and rapid economic transformation.
