First Returns Slow out of Guinea-Bissau

The small West African nation of Guinea-Bissau held the run-off for its Presidential election yesterday, with results yet to be released. Malam Bacai Sinha of the ruling African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) has been widely favored since the first round over opposition leader Kumba Iala of the Party for Social Renewal (PRS). The election was made necessary after the assassination of President Joao Bernardo Vieira in March. I will be scouring the news services for the first reports, and I will post them here as I come across them.
