Democratic Party of Guinea
Quick Summary
The Democratic Party of Guinea (PDG) was the ruling political party in Guinea for over 25 years, from 1958 to 1984, under President Sékou Touré. During this period, Guinea operated as a one-party state. Following Touré's death in 1984, the PDG was abolished by a military coup. A new constitution in 1991 paved the way for a transition to civilian rule and the legalization of other political parties in 1992.123
It is important to note that there is also a Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE), which is the ruling party in Equatorial Guinea and was formed in 1987. While both parties share similar names, they are distinct entities associated with different countries.4
