schema:articleBody	Guinea's delayed constitutional referendum will not take place Sunday, the country's electoral authority said Tuesday, despite President Alpha Conde's promise to hold the poll by that date. On February 28, Conde postponed by two weeks a parliamentary election and a constitutional referendum -- originally scheduled for March 1 -- following criticism of the fairness of the votes. But the president of the West African nation's Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) told AFP Tuesday that no vote would be held within Conde's timeframe. "All I can say is that the elections will not take place on Sunday," said CENI president Amadou Salifou Kebe, referring to both the referendum and parliamentary poll. He added that the electoral authority is waiting for an expert report from the West Africa bloc ECOWAS, which has had a delegation in the Guinea since last week to clear up problems with the country's electoral roll, among other things. Before the election, several international organisations had levelled criticisms of the electoral roll. The International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) said, for example, that the roll contained 2.49 million problematic names, including duplicates and those of people who had died. Around 7.7 million people were registered to vote in the country of some 13 million people, according to the CENI. Proposing to change the constitution itself has proved highly contentious. Guineans have been staging large protests since mid-October against the plan, charging that is a ploy to keep him in power. The former French colony's current constitution mandates two five-year presidential terms. Under the new constitution, there would be two six-year presidential terms. But critics argue that a new constitution would reset the term counter to zero, allowing Conde, 82, to run again when his second five-year term ends this year, a possibility the government has not denied. At least 31 civilians and one gendarme have died in the unrest to date. bm/mrb/eml/wai
