Voters in Guinea have cast their ballots during a high-stakes presidential poll happening after months of bloody unrest. Almost 5.5 million people were accounted to vote on Sunday at 15,000 polling stations. The results will be out after several days.
Twelve candidates of all are vouching for absolutely the best office, but only the important, Alpha Conde, and Cellou Dalein Diallo who is the leader of main opposition party Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFDG), are said to be in with an opportunity of victory. Conde at the age of 82, is seeking a controversial third term after pushing through a revamped constitution earlier this year that critics denounced as a plot to sidestep a two-term limit on presidential mandates.
