                 Observers Cite 'Irregularities' in Guinea Vote

   by VOA News

   International observers are raising concerns about last month's
   legislative elections in Guinea, saying they found "irregularities" in
   the vote.
   Representatives from the United Nations, United States, France and the
   West African bloc ECOWAS said in a joint statement late Tuesday the
   issues kept a "significant number" of votes from being considered,
   bringing the results into question.
   Partial results released last week showed President Alpha Conde's party
   leading in several districts.
   The opposition rejected the results, saying the election was marred by
   "massive fraud" that included ballot stuffing.
   Conde dismissed the accusations on Tuesday, calling them "political
   rhetoric." He said he will not allow any group to destabilize the
   country.
   The September 28 election was intended to complete a political
   transition that began with Conde's 2010 election. The vote had been
   postponed repeatedly during the past two years, partly due to violent
   clashes and the threat of more trouble if the election went ahead.
