The presidential election was set to take place on 27 June and 18 July 2010,[19][20] it was held as being the first free and fair election since independence in 1958. The first round took place normally on the 27 June 2010 with ex Prime Minister Cellou Dalein Diallo and his rival Alpha Condé emerging as the two runners-up for the second round.[21] However, due to allegations of electoral fraud, the second round of the election has been postponed until 19 September 2010.[22] A delay until October 10 was announced by the electoral commission (CENI), subject to approval by Sekouba Konate.[23]. Yet another delay until October 24th was announced in early October[24]. Elections were finally held on November 7th. Voter turnout was high, and the elections went relatively smoothly [25].
November 16th, 2010 Alpha Conde, the leader of the opposition RPG (Rally of the Guinean People), was declared officially the victor in a November 7 run-off in Guinea's presidential election. He has promised to reform the security sector and review mining contracts if elected
