The Democratic Party of GuineaTemplate:SndAfrican Democratic Rally (Template:Langx) is a political party in Guinea that dominated Guinean politics under a one-party state system.[1] The party was founded as a branch of the African Democratic Rally (RDA) in June 1947.[2] On 19 October 1958, the party severed its links with the RDA, other members of which supported a closer union with France.[3] The party's leader, Ahmed Sékou Touré, became the country's first president. Two years later, he declared the PDG to be the sole legal party in the country. As president of the PDG, Touré was the only candidate for president of the republic, and as such was elected unopposed to four seven-year terms. Every five years, a single list of PDG candidates was returned to the National Assembly. After the death of Touré and a coup staged by Lansana Conté in 1984, the PDG was dissolved.

In 1992, PDG-RDA was revived under the leadership of Ismael Gushein. In the parliamentary election held on 30 June 2002, the party won 3.4% of the popular vote and 3 out of 114 seats.[4]
