schema:articleBody	ECOWAS election experts are heading to Guinea, a foreign ministry official said Monday, after the government delayed a controversial constitutional referendum owing to concerns about its credibility. Guinean President Alpha Conde on Friday postponed a parliamentary election and constitutional referendum scheduled on Sunday after international organisations criticised the polls. No date has been set for a new vote so far. At issue in particular was the electoral roll, which the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) said 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 West African state, according to its Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). The country has a total population of roughly 13 million. Guineans have been staging large protests since mid-October over Conde's plan to change the constitution, 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, 81, to run again when his second five-year term ends this year, a possibility the government has not denied. On Friday, Conde gave a televised address to announce the vote's postponement, after the OIF, EU, African Union and ECOWAS raised concerns. Conde did not announce a date for a new vote, but in a letter to the 15-nation ECOWAS bloc that was seen by AFP, he said the new poll should take place within two weeks. It is unclear if that will happen however. Guinea's Communication Minister Amara Sompare told AFP he could not comment on a precise date because setting one was up the CENI. The electoral commission declined to comment. eml-cv/wai
