New date for Guinea's presidential elections

Guinea's electoral commission has proposed October 10th as the revised date for the final round of voting in the West African country's first democratic election.

The commission postponed the election earlier this month claiming unresolved logistical difficulties

The new date must be approved by interim head of state Sekouba Konate.

Konate has said he does not want any further delays and his approval is expected to be a formality.

But it is not only the date that is in question but the new head of the electoral commission. BBC's Alhassan Sillah reports.
