Equatorial Guinea Holds Rare Vote with Low Turnout
Equatorial Guinea held its first presidential election since 1971 with sparse turnout as polls closed at 5 pm CST. Opposition leaders said President Teodoro Obiang benefited from oil firm funding, a claim denied by the companies. The country, Maryland-sized in West Africa, drew oil interest after large offshore deposits were found last year. Obiang, in power since 1979 after overthrowing his predecessor, faced a single challenger. Official results timing was not announced.
