Guinea's elections: Opposition pulls out of counting

Guinea's main opposition parties have pulled out of the counting of votes in the first parliamentary election since a coup in 2008.

The election has been marred by widespread fraud, the parties allege.

President Alpha Conde's Rally of the Guinean People (RPG) party was in the lead, as the first official results from the 28 September poll trickled in.

Guinea's electoral commission said on Tuesday it would not consider allegations of electoral fraud until vote counting had ended.
