Conakry (IINA) – Guinea's Constitutional Court on Saturday formally upheld President Alpha Conde's landslide reelection victory, dismissing opposition claims of vote rigging and fraud in the October 11 polls, AFP reported.
Reading the final results, the Court President Kelefa Sall said Conde took 57.84 percent of the votes in the first round, or 2,284,827 of ballots counted, in line with the results announced earlier this month by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI).
Conde is therefore "declared president of the republic with a mandate that runs from December 21, 2015 to December 21, 2020," Sall said in a public address in the capital Conakry.
Appeals lodged by three of the seven candidates who ran against Conde that had called for the vote to be annulled were rejected by the court, with Sall saying their complaints either lacked proof or had no bearing on the results.
