Alpha Conde vs Kemal Kilicdaroglu

Conde won the presidential election in a runoff against Cellou Dalein Diallo, becoming Guinea's first democratically elected president. The election followed years of military rule and was seen as a milestone for democracy.

Conde won a second term in an election marked by opposition boycotts and allegations of fraud. The election was criticized by international observers for lack of transparency and irregularities.

Conde pushed through a constitutional referendum that allowed him to run for a third term, sparking widespread protests and violence. The referendum was boycotted by the opposition and criticized internationally.

Conde was overthrown by a military coup led by Colonel Mamady Doumbouya. The coup ended his 11-year rule and was condemned internationally, but welcomed by many Guineans who opposed his third term.

Kilicdaroglu was elected leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), Turkey's main opposition party. He succeeded Deniz Baykal and aimed to modernize the party and challenge Erdogan's AKP.

Kilicdaroglu survived an assassination attempt when a gunman opened fire near his convoy during a funeral. No one was injured, and the attacker was arrested.

Kilicdaroglu led the 'No' campaign against the constitutional referendum that granted sweeping powers to President Erdogan. The 'Yes' vote won narrowly, with allegations of irregularities.

Kilicdaroglu ran as the joint opposition candidate against Erdogan in the presidential election. He won 47.8% in the first round but lost the runoff, despite strong support from a six-party alliance.
