The elections came after a coup in 2008 and the attempted assassination of the junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara in December 2009. There were months of tension and unrest during the electoral process, in which the two main candidates represented the two largest ethnic groups in Guinea: the Fula (French: Peul; Fula: Fulɓe) and the Maninka (Malinke). The elections were also the first free national election held in Guinea since it gained independence in 1958.
