Guinea politicians propose  election dates 

Conakry, 15 March-(ANA)-Politicians in Guinea have proposed that elections be held by the end of 2009 to replace the army officers who took power in a coup in December.

If Guinea's military rulers agree, legislative elections will be held in November followed by polls to elect a civilian president in December.

A referendum on proposed changes to the laws of the country is also planned.

Captain Moussa Dadis Camara seized power when President Lansana Conte, who had ruled since 1984, died.

The election dates were proposed by a loose coalition, known as Force Vivre, made up of Guinean political parties, civil society groups and trades union movements.

Capt Camara's National Council for Democracy and Development has promised to stand down and hold free and fair polls by 2010.(ANA)
