This article shares information about the leaders of Guinea. These leaders are called presidents. Guinea became an independent country in 1958. Before that, it was controlled by France. Guinea chose not to join the French Community after a special vote in 1958. Since then, the country has had several presidents.

Presidential Term Limits

A "term limit" means how many times a president can be elected. In Guinea, the country's rules usually say a president can serve two terms. Each term lasts five years.

However, this rule has changed for some presidents. For example, the limit was removed for President Conté in 2001. It was also removed for President Condé in 2020. This allowed them to serve more than two terms.
