This Monday, Cellou Dalein Diallo, president of the UFDG, the first opposition force, had submitted his application to the Constitutional Court, a controversial decision which confirms a split within the coalition opposed to the 3rd term of President Alpha Condé .
The debates were heated and resulted in a cryptic statement about which parties chose to participate in the presidential election.
"
This decision naturally results in their voluntary withdrawal from the movement,"
says the FNDC.
Aliou Bah, president of Model, a party that has chosen the boycott, specifies: "
If tomorrow we have a demonstration during which these Guineans members of these political parties take part, of course it is their right to fight for their rights. countries and we will not take that right away from them.
It's just that the leaders of these parties can no longer sit in the FNDC bodies.
"
Half-heartedly, it is the exclusion of the
UFDG
, the main opposition party which largely contributed to the organization and mobilization of the FNDC.

“
The fight against the third term continues.
In this sense, the FNDC needs all citizens, all Guineans in love with justice and democracy for this state of affairs, so once again we are continuing the fight against the third term of Mr. Alpha Condé and in this momentum we are ready to do everything to prevent the third term of Mr. Alpha Condé.
"
The FNDC must announce at the end of the week whether or not it intends to call for new demonstrations.
