On May 11, the legislative body of the transition adopted the timetable for the return to constitutional order. It was expected, but the vote resulted in a surprise: the duration of the transition was revised downwards.
Three votes against and one abstention. The majority of councilors gathered for the plenary session of the National Council of the Transition (which acts as parliament) finally opted for the timetable with one nuance. The duration of the transition was revised downward: 36 months instead of the 39 proposed by the head of the junta, Lieutenant Colonel Doumbouya.
"From all the consultations undertaken at all levels, since the beginning of the transition, with all the components of the nation, with all Guineans wherever they are, there emerges a middle proposal for a consensual duration of the Transition of 39 months," said Colonel Mamady Doumbouya. Now the transition time has been revised to 3 years.
The main political parties in the G58 have rejected any transition timetable validated by the National Transitional Council (CNT) on Wednesday. The political class believes that the CNT has neither the prerogatives nor the legitimacy to determine the duration of the transition. The G58 political parties want the transition timetable to be adopted by mutual agreement with them. In the evening, the FNDC announced that it rejected the duration of the transition and plans to organize demonstrations.
On Saturday, April 30, President Colonel Mamady Doumbouya announced publicly that in the course of consultations, the Guinean stakeholders agreed that democratic elections will be organized after the transition.
