African Union Suspends Guinea

The African Union has suspended Guinea following last week's military coup while Guinea's new military leaders have demoted many of the country's generals.

African Union leaders put Guinea's membership on hold pending the restoration of constitutional order. The group's Peace and Security Council Monday reiterated its firm condemnation of the coup, calling it is a flagrant violation of Guinea's constitution.

Army Captain Mussa Camara seized power last week following the death of long-time president Lansana Conte. He forced the surrender of the country's prime minister and speaker of the National Assembly, who the constitution says should have been named interim president ahead of elections in 60 days.

Camara says his new ruling council will hold elections in December 2010.

African Leaders Begin to Ease Opposition to Coup

The United States and European Union have joined the African Union in condemning the coup, but African opposition to the military takeover appears to be easing. Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade says Camara's ruling council deserves international support because it is promising to hold free and fair elections.

The Senegalese leader says he believes Camara is an honest young man who has taken power to fill a dangerous vacuum. President Wade is calling on all countries, especially former colonial power France, to take the coup leader at his word and, as Mr. Wade says, "not throw the first stone."

The 15-member Economic Community of West African States has also stepped back from its initial objection, saying coup leaders should be given a chance to prove their good faith. The regional alliance says it is ready to work with the military and Guinean politicians to avoid international sanctions.

Camara Demotes Generals and Chiefs of Security Forces

Guinea's new military rulers continue to consolidate power, taking charge of the national treasury and demoting more than 20 of the country's generals, including the heads of the army, navy, and air force. In a broadcast on national radio, a spokesman for the new ruling council said those chiefs would be reassigned to other jobs within the military. Chiefs of security forces were also demoted, but it is unclear how coup leaders plan to deal with Guinea's presidential guard.

Opposition leaders and human rights groups have accused the presidential guard of executing dozens of demonstrators during protests against the Conte government two years ago.

Camara met with more than 1,000 political, religious, labor and civil society leaders at Conakry's main army barracks Saturday, telling them that he would bring to justice anyone abusing human rights, stealing government money or selling drugs.

Ghana: 110 Certified Results Released by EC 20 Hours After Polls

Accra — The Electoral Commission has released 109 certified results 20 hours after the polls closed across the country. With the 109 certified results released so far, the NDC’s Professor Evans Atta-Mills is ahead with 54.42% and NPP’s Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo has 45.58% of the total votes cast.

The media has however released over 210 provisional results so far. The EC has promised to release the results of presidential run-off within 48 hours after polls closed.

It is however not clear what is going to happen to that timeline with results from the Tain constituency still outstanding. Voters in Tain have yet to cast their votes in the presidential run-off following a dispute over missing ballot papers.

JOY FM calls elections for Professor Atta Mills

Joy FM, the Accra-based radio station, has projected Professor John Evans Atta Mills of the National Democratic Congress as Ghana’s next president.

Their projection is based on the station’s analysis of 223 constituency results certified so far by the Electoral Commission. The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr. Kwadwo Afari Gyan will declare the official results.

NDC supporters in early celebrations

Reports reaching www.africanelections.org/ghana indicate that scores of NDC supporters have thronged the campaign office of Prof Atta Mills to celebrate his victory.

Our reporters say crowds of supporters clad in party colours are presently jubilating at the campaign office. The celebrating is based on provisional results released so far by the media.

Meanwhile, our reporters can confirm there is a massive presence of NPP supporters at the party head office anxiously waiting for the declaration of the presidential run-off results.

Professor Mills says NDC supporters can jubilate if they so wish

Professor John Evans Atta Mills of the National Democratic Congress says NDC supporters can jubilate if they so wish but as a party they are waiting for the EC to declare the official result. Professor Mills was addressing the press at the campaign office a while ago.

Meanwhile, a leading member of the NPP, Nii Ntow, addressing supporters at the party headquarters, urged them to continued with the jubilating as they await official declaration of the election results by the EC. Nii Ntow also urged the party supporters to ignore any media reports declaring/projecting anyone as a winner.

Thousands of protesters surround Thai Parliament

Politics returned to the streets in Thailand on Monday as thousands of anti-government demonstrators surrounded the Parliament building, forcing a delay in the legislature's opening session under a new government.

With power changing hands in Thailand, the protests shifted as well, this time to the "red shirts" who support Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister who was ousted in a coup in 2006. A pro-Thaksin government was dissolved Dec. 2 when a court determined that the governing party had committed electoral fraud.

The demonstration called to mind recent protests by anti-Thaksin "yellow shirts" who had barricaded the prime minister's office for three months and shut down Bangkok's airports for a week this month.

Chai Chidchob, the Parliament speaker, said the new session was being postponed until Tuesday morning because of threats to the safety of lawmakers.

The new government, which is headed by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva of the Democrat Party, must by law present its core policies to Parliament by Jan. 7. The prime minister was originally scheduled to outline those plans in an address to Parliament on Monday morning.

Abhisit, 44, who was born in Britain and schooled at Eton and Oxford, became prime minister Dec. 17 following the court ruling that disbanded the governing party and banned its leaders from Thai politics for five years.

The new protest group, which calls itself the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship, is demanding that the Abhisit government dissolve the legislature and call a new election.

Although Thaksin, a wealthy telecommunications tycoon, has fled Thailand to avoid corruption cases against him, he remains a powerful force in politics.

His backers say they could win a new election with the support of his broad rural base. They claim the new government has seized power through what they call a "silent coup" that involved political pressure from the military.
