President’s party wins local elections

    ABIDJAN
    President Alpha Oumar Konare’s ruling Alliance pour la democratie au Mali (ADEMA) won 61.5 % of seats in local elections completed on 6 June, Reuters reported on Thursday. The ADEMA alliance won 5,933 of the 9,647 available seats in the two-stage elections. Four of Mali’s eight regions voted on 2 May. The other half voted last weekend, in when ADEMA won 59 percent of the ballot. The local elections fall within a programme of administrative decentralisation in the West African nation, ending the process of legislative, presidential and municipal polls started two years ago.
