                Guinea-Bissau Awaits Presidential Runoff Results

   by VOA News

   Vote counting is under way in Guinea-Bissau after Sunday's second-round
   presidential election.
   The poll is aimed at restoring constitutional order after a 2012
   military coup, one of several to hit the country in its 40-year
   history.
   Jose Mario Vaz of the dominant PAIGC party led the first round with 41
   percent of the vote.  His opponent, Nuno Gomes Nabiam, won 25 percent
   and is known for having close ties to the military.
   Witnesses say Sunday's polling was peaceful.  The country's election
   commission put voter turnout at between 60 and 65 percent - lower than
   the 80 percent recorded in the first round April 13.
   It was not clear Monday when the commission will begin releasing
   results.
