CONAKRY Nov 15 (Reuters) - Veteran opposition leader Alpha
Conde has been elected president of Guinea after winning 52.5
percent of the votes in a Nov. 7 run-off, according to
provisional results issued by the electoral commission on
Monday.
The election is meant to complete the return to civilian
rule of the world's biggest bauxite exporter but Conde's rival,
former Prime Minister Cellou Dalein Diallo, has alleged fraud
and his supporters have clashed with police in the capital.
