What's the Need for Elections in Guinea Conakry?

An interesting situation is developing in Guinea Conakry. The two candidates vying for the presidency of the country have agreed to include each other in their government, whatever the outcome of the election. Now, this may be a very good move to bring unity in the country; but one may begin to wonder the price that is paid for such unity. One wonders whether such a deal is intended to serve the interest of the people or that of politicians who just want to hang on to power for longer. Or could it be that a new form of electoral politics is emerging in that country? Let's wait and see.
