| Polls close in Mauritanian presidential vote |
| 2009-07-19 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Polls closed Saturday in Mauritanian presidential elections nearly a year after the overthrow of the country's first elected president, with the coup leader confident of outright victory. Polling stations began to close at 19:00 GMT, unless voters were still waiting to cast their ballots, and counting at those stations had begun, an AFP journalist witnessed. Initial results were expected on Monday. |
