The Secretary-General of the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFDG), Amadou Oury Bah, described Kouyaté as "a danger to the democratic process".[14] One union leader, Rabiatou Serah Diallo, said that until the composition of Souaré's government was announced, she had nothing to say.[2] Souaré was sworn in on 23 May; Kouyaté was not present at the ceremony,[15][16] as he was unable to leave his home due to a crowd of supporters outside of it.[15]
