Guinea's electoral body has called opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo's self-proclaimed victory in the first round of a presidential election \"void\".
“Despite the serious anomalies that marred the smooth running of the … election and in view of the results that came out of the ballot boxes, I am victorious in this election in the first round,” Diallo told supporters on Monday, a day after the vote was held.
Diallo's supporters chanted \"Cellou, president\". But elsewhere in the city, joyous celebrations by supporters devolved into clashes with security forces.
Diallo, 68, is the main challenger to Guinea’s 82-year-old incumbent President Alpha Conde, who is seeking a controversial third term after he pushed through constitutional reforms in March.
The move sparked mass protests and subsequent crackdowns, which killed dozens of people.
But Mamadi Kaba, a spokesman of Guinea electoral commission said on Monday: \"I would therefore like to reassure the people of Guinea who voted yesterday in peace, without violence, that no provisional results have been proclaimed for the time being.
\"The Independent National Electoral Commission is the only institution empowered to proclaim provisional results.\"
Although Sunday, the day of the vote, was mostly calm, Diallo's self-proclaimed election victory has set the stage for a showdown with Conde.
The government insists the vote was fair and that the official electoral authority must declare the results.
Conde's RPG party said in a statement Monday that it condemned \"with the utmost firmness the irresponsible and dangerous declaration\" by Diallo.
It called for its activists to remain calm.
BY WINSTONE ANTONIO RISING contemporary gospel singer and former ZimPraise choir member Nadine Wadzanai Kitchen, who has since gone solo, believes she has more to offer to the showbiz industry as music is her calling. In her short solo career, the 26-year-old talented songwriter, singer and performer has already released three singles Kuchema Kwapera, Psalms of Ascents and Zarura Moyo that all have accompanying colourful and well-choreographed videos. Listening to her songs, Kitchen oozes with confidence that complements the richness of her lyrical prowess that she nurtured from the time she was a high school choir lead vocalist at Dewure and Gutu High schools. A teacher by profession, Nadine told NewsDay Life Style yesterday that her stint with ZimPraise choir was an educational for her musical career. “Being part of the ZimPraise choir was educational for me and I wish I had learnt more from the group, but unfortunately that was around the time I was still pursuing my educational career so time was not permitting,” she said. “Also, the platform gave me an understanding of the things that music can do to people and it is also then when I decided to pursue music.” A member of Westview Baptist Church in Harare, Kitchen said her approach in the music industry was to release singles as appetisers ahead of the launch of her debut and yet to be named album in the making. “I am happy to be following my passion to minister the word of God through music. It is, however, not that easy as an up-and-coming artiste to make a breakthrough in such an industry that has vast talents,” she said. “My compositions are basically inspired by the social experiences that I go through, people go through in their day-to-day life, but most of all they are spirit fed. It’s like there are moments when I wake up to a melody or even a scripture and it just starts happening, pen and paper.” Apart from the ZimPraise choir experience, the songstress also believes the lyrical richness in her songs borrows heavily from her prowess as an accomplished debater and public speaker with a staunch Christian background. “My strength as an artiste is in my experiences. I have realised that my life itself has shaped even my lyrical composition, my personality and my performance. Music has set me free on countless occasions and because of that it makes me give that extra hard work towards this career path which I think is distinct from me,” she said. While financial constraints have been noted as the major burden for many up-and-coming artistes in the pursuit of their careers, Kitchen said she had at least managed to support her musical projects through her earnings from teaching. She, however, bemoaned failure to get airplay and publicity in mainstream media as a major challenge. “Every new person in the industry has to deal with especially the financial part of it. As for me I have also gone through that, but my main challenge has been to at least gain airplay on mainstream media platforms because that is how you get to reach out and be known,” she said. “With
