A presidential election will be held in Guinea on 27 June and 18 July 2010. It was originally scheduled to held on 13 December 2009 (with a run-off on 27 December 2009, if necessary) following the 2008 Guinean coup d'état. Civilian and political groups later proposed to hold them in December after legislative elections in October 2009. The government agreed to set the election date for 13 and 27 December in late March 2009, but it was then again delayed until 31 January 2010.

While junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara had initially stated he would not run in the election, he declared on 16 April 2009 that he, like every citizen, had the right to stand in the election. On 10 May 2009, however, he stated again that neither he nor any of the other officers involved would stand in the election. Despite this vow, supporters of Camara held a rally in August 2009 to call for him to take off his uniform and run in the elections. The United States feels that he must abstain from running in the election to ensure a free and fair election.
