Guinea’s losing candidate in a runoff presidential election will challenge the outcome in court, his party said, as the United Nations appealed for calm after a day of clashes between his supporters and the police.
Cellou Dalein Diallo, a former prime minister of the country, will appeal to the Supreme Court to cancel results from some districts, Faya Millimono, a spokesman for the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea, said in a phone interview today from the capital, Conakry. His rival, Alpha Conde, was declared the winner by electoral authorities yesterday.
