On 26 November, military officers seized power in Guinea-Bissau, suspending the electoral process one day before results were due in the contested 23 November election, in which both President Umaro Sissoco Embaló and opposition candidate Fernando Dias claimed victory. Soldiers appeared on state television announcing Embaló’s removal, imposed border closures and a night-time curfew. The electoral commission was taken over, and the country—already without a sitting parliament since its dissolution in December 2023—was placed under a High Military Command.

On 28 December, Guinea held its first presidential election since the 2021 coup. Transitional president General Mamadi Doumbouya won 86.7 per cent of the vote, securing a seven-year term after leading opposition figures were barred from contesting, while revised electoral rules adopted by a referendum in September enabled transitional authorities to run. No women candidates were reported. The electoral authority reported turnout at 80.9 per cent, up from 78.9 per cent in the 2020 presidential election.

On 28 December, The Central African Republic held general elections for the presidency, National Assembly and local government. According to the validated results declared by the Constitutional Court on 19 January, President Faustin Archange Touadéra won the presidential election,  securing 77.9 per cent of the vote. The runner up, with 13.5 per cent, was Anicet-Georges Dologuélé, who unsuccessfully challenged the result in the Constitutional Court, alleging fraud.
