Guinea Elections: Alpha Condé Wins Third Term Amid Violent Protests

Guinea's President Alpha Condé has won a controversial third term in office, preliminary results show, amid violent protests across the country.

The electoral commission said the 82-year-old had taken 59.5% of the vote. The victory still requires confirmation by the Constitutional Court.

His opponent, Cellou Dalein Diallo, said he would contest the result, alleging large-scale fraud.
At least 30 people have died since the vote on Sunday, Guinean media report.
