BBC News - Guinea-Bissau due to hold presidential election

BBC News - Guinea-Bissau due to hold presidential election: "Voters in Guinea-Bissau go to the polls shortly to elect a new president to replace Malam Bacai Sanha, who died in January following a long illness.

Nine candidates are running for office, but analysts say only four have a fighting chance.

The West African country has been plagued by army mutinies and coups over the past 10 years.

No elected president has completed his mandate since multi-party politics was introduced in 1994."
