Candidates seek to delay Niger presidential poll, Reuters (2011)
This article reports on the political situation in Niger. The 10 presidential candidates asked the military junta to postpone the elections, due on January 31, by three weeks. The candidates also requested the junta to dissolve the electoral commission and replace all of its members, after the mis-management of the local polls held earlier this month. The new date for the poll would be February 20, while the likely runoff will be in March.
