Polls Close in Guinea-Bissau Presidential Election

The voting polls in Guinea-Bissau have closed and the country now awaits the results of its presidential election four months after soldiers killed President Joao Bernardo Vieira.

Vieira’s murder was believed to have been carried out in revenge for the death of the head of the army who was killed in a bomb blast.

While eleven candidates contested the election the majority of the votes are expected to be won by Malam Bacai Sanha of the ruling party as well as former presidents Henrique Rosa and Kumba Yala. All three have pledged to restore peace and order to the impoverished nation and end the drug-trade business that has bred extreme violence in parts of the country.

The presidential election could head into a second round if the vote does not produce an outright winner.
