Guinea-Bissau
In June 2005, presidential elections were held for the first time since the coup that deposed Iala. Iala returned as the candidate for the PRS, claiming to be the legitimate president of the country, but the election was won by former president Joao Bernardo Vieira, deposed in the 1999 coup. Vieira beat Malam Bacai Sanha in a runoff election. Sanha initially refused to concede, claiming that tampering and electoral fraud occurred in two constituencies including the capital, Bissau.
