In Guinea, the preparation of the results of the first round of presidential elections continues. La Cénia recalled that it was the only one authorized to announce the results and warned the candidates, but despite this, clashes broke out in the Guinean capital after Cellou Dalein Diallo claimed victory this afternoon.
as reported from Conakry, Carol Valade
From the party’s headquarters in the Minière district in the nearest suburb of Conakry to the home of Cellou Dalein Diallo, the detonations and clouds of tear gas very quickly covered the shouts of joy and smoked the motorcycle procession.
In neighborhoods favorable to the opposition, supporters of the UFDG took to the streets in large numbers. The gendarmes are deployed at the main intersection and the situation is tense in places where there is smoke rising into the sky near the Hamdallaye roundabout.
Moments earlier, the president of the UFDG, opponent Cellou Dalein Diallo, announced that his own count gave the winner of the presidential election.
Ceni “regrets” Diallo’s statement
No official result has been announced yet. Ceni says it “regrets” the opponent’s statements and continues to centralize the results, according to its spokesman Mamadi 3 Kaba. It will publish the preliminary results within 72 hours of receiving the final minutes.
Ceni remains the only institution that proclaims preliminary results.
