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.
