Keita Wins Mali Vote After His Opponent Concedes -- Wall Street Journal
BAMAKO, Mali—Ibrahim Keita, a former prime minster who vowed to rebuild his country, won Mali's presidency after his opponent conceded defeat before official results were announced.
Soumaila Cissé went late Monday to Mr. Keita's home to congratulate him on his victory, according to spokesmen for both candidates.
Mr. Cissé's concession, hours after he complained the election had been marred by fraud, raises hopes for Mali's recovery after more than a year of turmoil in the West African nation.
"My family and I went and congratulated Mr. Keita, the future president of Mali, on his victory. May God bless Mali," Mr. Cissé, a former finance minister, said on his official Twitter feed.
