Guinea Conakry: June 27, election date
By African Bulletin on May 5, 2010
The acting president, General Sékouba Konaté, reaffirmed that all measures will be taken to ensure the holding of presidential elections on June 27, 2010. This follows the visit of a joint delegation of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), African Union (A.U) and United Nations. The visit was initiated by the recent reports of tensions between actors of the transition on the electoral process, the UN reported Monday.
The aim is to liaise with the Guinean authorities and encourage them to continue their efforts in accordance with the Declaration of Ouagadougou; ECOWAS, the AU and the UN officials said.
They encouraged the acting president to ensure that these arrangements be made in time for the election of 27 June 2010 and all the transitional institutions to strengthen their cooperation for the smooth continuation of the process to return to the constitutional order. The delegation called on the people of Guinea to seize the unique opportunity to participate actively in democratic renewal of the country and out of the crisis and to preserve the climate of peace, security and social cohesion.
