Guinea's June 30 poll date no longer possible: elections body. A repeatedly delayed parliamentary election meant to seal Guinea's transition to civilian rule will have to be postponed again after the government and opposition failed to agree on how to run the vote, a spokesman for the elections commission said. "It goes without saying that the June 30 date is no longer tenable," Alpha Yero Conde, the communications director for the elections body, known as the CENI, said on Monday. The president said over the weekend that, while the polls were technically feasible on the announced date, a delay might be necessary due to the fact that opposition politicians had not registered as candidates.
