On October 5, Guinea's National Assembly President Dansa Kourouma addressed the parliament, highlighting the country's progress in returning to constitutional order. He commended the Guinean people's patience and maturity throughout the transition process. Kourouma attributed a significant role in this process to President Mamadi Doumbouya, who had committed to leading the country to legitimate institutions. The President of the National Assembly emphasized that the October 5 date marked a new stage in the life of the tenth legislature.
Dansa Kourouma recalled the various stages that led to the installation of the new National Assembly, including the May 30, 2026, elections, where the Guinean people voted for their representatives. He stressed that the people's vote was not only for representatives but also for individuals to assume a major constitutional responsibility: representing the nation, participating in law-making, controlling government action, and evaluating public policies. The President of the National Assembly urged the deputies to dedicate themselves to their mission and work towards achieving concrete results.
Kourouma emphasized that the value of an institution is not measured by its existence but by its actions. He called on the deputies to inscribe their mandate in a logic of action and results, as the history of an institution is written by its deeds, not just its dates. The President of the National Assembly highlighted the importance of institutions responding to citizens' expectations and transforming their trust into tangible results.
Dansa Kourouma paid tribute to the Guinean people for their attitude during the transition and return to constitutional order, praising their patience, maturity, and faith in Guinea.

The President of the National Assembly highlighted President Mamadi Doumbouya's role in Guinea's return to constitutional order, stating that he had kept his promise to lead the country to legitimate institutions. Kourouma cited the key steps in the process, including the constitutional referendum, presidential election, and legislative elections, which brought the country closer to constitutional order.
Dansa Kourouma expressed his gratitude to President Doumbouya on behalf of the national representation for his role in this period of institutional refoundation. He emphasized that the President's commitment had been honored step by step, with constancy and determination. The President of the National Assembly concluded by urging the deputies to work towards the country's progress.
The installation of the new National Assembly marks a significant milestone in Guinea's journey towards constitutional order.
