Africa

LOUIS Blaise Aka-Brou, resident representative of the Commission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Guinea, and head of the regional organization’s mission for the observation of the Guinean legislative and municipal elections,  toured several polling stations in Conakry on Sunday, May 31, to observe firsthand the conduct of these elections.

Aka-Brou and his entourage visited polling stations located at the Moustapha Primary School in Al-mamya, the Ratoma College, and the “Open Air 1 and 2” polling stations at the Dixinn Mosque in Conakry.

At these various polling stations, they observed the verification of electoral materials (ballot boxes, ballots, indelible ink, lists of candidates and political parties, voting booths, etc.) and witnessed the opening of voting operations, which was somewhat delayed in some polling stations due to rain. 

The ECOWAS mission lamented the delay in starting the polls.
