Guinea opposition threatens election boycott over voter lists

CONAKRY (Reuters) - Guinea's opposition parties threatened to call street protests and boycott legislative elections later this month if the country's elections commission fails to publish voter lists within 72 hours, an opposition spokesman said.

The voting will be the last step in a transition to civilian rule after the military seized power following the death of long-time leader Lansana Conte in 2008, and are seen as critical to reassuring investors in the mineral-rich West African state.
