The candidate of the National Alliance for Democratic Change (ANAD), Cellou Dalein Diallo, has claimed victory ahead of the official results of Sunday’s presidential election.
“Despite several anomalies that marred the smooth running of the October 18 elections, and in view of the results that came out of the polls, I came out victorious in this presidential election,” Diallo, the head of the Union of Democratic Forces (UFDG), surrounded by overexcited supporters told reporters at his election headquarters in Conakry.
“I invite all my compatriots, lovers of peace and justice to remain vigilant and get mobilized to defend this victory for democracy,” he added.
Cellou Dalein Diallo, appears to ignore warnings by the government, which insisted only the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) has the authority to announce provisional results of the poll.
