Guinea-Bissau Presidential Elections Head to Second Round

Ricci Shryock

   DAKAR - Guinea-Bissau voters go to the polls for a second round of
   voting in December to decide on their next president. Results of the
   first round show that no candidate garnered the 50 percent needed to
   win outright.

   Former Prime Ministers Domingos Simoes Pereira and Umaro Sissoco Embalo
   will face each other in a December 29 runoff election to decide who
   will be the next president of Guinea-Bissau.
