Conakry – More than 100 Guinean political parties will present a joint position to the ruling junta on a timetable for a return to civilian rule, the West African country’s main opposition leader said on Monday.
The Collective of Political Parties (CPP) brings together 128 parties, Cellou Dalein Diallo told a news conference.
The parties “signed a document of participation” in the CPP’s position on the timetable for the transition to be submitted to the ruling junta, the former prime minister told AFP.

Diallo ran unsuccessfully against Conde three times in successive presidential elections in the former French colony of 13 million people.
