The year 2005 began badly for Guinea, with an armed attack on President Lansana Conté's convoy. The first half of the year was dominated by rumours of the president's failing health, and infighting between the new reformist prime minister and the clique surrounding the president. In the second half of the year, a number of political reforms passed into law, though they were not necessarily fully implemented. These reforms culminated in the municipal elections on 18 December, whose preparation was generally favourably judged by diplomats and civil society, although they were marred on election day by widespread irregularities and an extremely low turnout. The economic situation remained grim, despite the seeming improvement in the sub-regional political and economic situation, especially in neighbouring Liberia.
