MALI: UN MISSION WELCOMES PEACEFUL ELECTIONS, STRESSES NEED TO RESPECT
RESULTSNew York, Jul 29 2013 2:00PMThe United Nations Stabilization
Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has commended the West African country for
the peaceful conduct of the first round of its presidential elections,
which took place yesterday in an orderly manner.

According to a UN spokesperson, "turnout is reported to have been
high across the country," although no official figures have been
released yet.

The 28 July elections were seen as an important step on the path to
recovery for Mali, which, over the past year, witnessed a military
coup d'état, renewed fighting between Government forces and Tuareg
rebels, and the seizure of its northern territory by radical
Islamists.

MINUSMA, which provided security support to the Malian Defence and
Security Forces throughout the day, reported excellent cooperation
between its members and the Malian forces in the provision of
electoral security, and said it would continue to help secure the
counting centres.

International and national observers were also present in all
regions, including the cities of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal, the Mission
said.

Today, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Mali,
Bert Koenders, together with the heads of the international observer
missions and some key ambassadors, met the presidential candidates
today to discuss the process and the next steps.

"All were reminded of the need to respect the results, and to address
any complaints through established legal processes," the UN
spokesperson told reporters in New York.
