==Campaign==
A total of eight candidates contested the elections;<ref name=BBC>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-34498449 Guineans vote in presidential poll amid tension] BBC News, 11 November 2015</ref> including incumbent Condé, Diallo, who was named as the candidate of the UFDG on 25 July 2015,<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/guineas-former-pm-run-presidency-october-203000084.html "Guinea's former PM to run for presidency in October"], AFP, 25 July 2015.</ref> [[Sidya Touré]] of the [[Union
During the campaign Condé told voters that he aimed to promote development and consolidate stability. Diallo promised to give priority to youth employment, as well as "access to health care, decent housing, water, electricity, safety, and justice".<ref name=BBC/> His campaign slogan promised to deliver a "KO blow" to his opponents. He cited his record on overhauling the army and judiciary, the completion of a hydroelectric dam and reforms in making the mineral-rich country's mining contracts more transparent. He said in an interview: "Ask the people of Guinea if what we have done in five years, the others did in 50. Ask that on the streets."

By 17 October 2015, with nearly all of the votes counted, provisional results showed Condé winning re-election with a majority, 57.8%, in the first round. Turnout was placed at about 68%. Diallo denounced the provisional results as fraudulent, and all of the opposition candidates vowed not to accept the results. Diallo said that "at the appropriate time" he would call for "peaceful demonstrations to express our indignation and protest against this serious denial of democracy", while a spokesman for Condé criticized the notion of holding protests, saying that it "risks dragging the country into instability, chaos and violence". He urged supporters of the President to "stay calm, avoid gloating and get ready to face the numerous challenges that await us".<ref>Selim Saheb Ettaba and Abdoulaye Bah, [http://news.yahoo.com/guinea-president-elected-first-round-voting-provisional-results-215032915.html "Guinea opposition leader vows protests against Conde re-election"], Agence France-Presse, 17 October 2015.</ref>▼
