Guinea Conakry: cases of frauds are recognised

By on July 2, 2010
The president of the CENI, Ben Sékou Sylla recognised the existence of several cases of frauds during the presidential ballot of Sunday.

The authors are introduced to the Guinean justice. The thesis had already been raised by 21 of the 24 parties engaged in the election race, multiplying the charges of frauds and stuffing of the ballot boxes.
Former Prime Minister Lansana Kouyaté and François Louncény Fall are among the complaining candidates. They are joined by the opponent Alpha Condé, leader of the RPG party and one of the favourite runners of the ballot. He fustigated, in a press release, the excessive votes by proxy, the existence of false electoral cards and the manipulation of the results by the CENI.
But assertions on behalf of the observers are as follows: “What we observed was a deficit for some of the local electoral agents in the districts in particular. But, the electoral commission is doing its work with the maximum honesty that is expected of it. There was no attempt, whatsoever, on the part of the electoral commission, or anybody, to defraud”.
The Supreme Court emitted a prescription extending of 48 hours the deadline concerning the publication of the temporary results. And the CNEI president has declared: “We are working around the clock to make sure that the electoral commission comes up with the results. We are appealing to the political leaders to exercise maximum restraint and to wait patiently for the results to be announced on Friday evening… But, several opposition groups say the delay is a calculated attempt to rig the vote.
