Niger Presidential Election Heads for Run-Off Feb. 20
Niger is set for a second round of vote as no candidate clinched the needed majority for a first round win in the Dec. 27 vote. Former prime minister and favorite to win Mohammed Bazoum, of the ruling party, came first with 39.33 percent of the vote. He will go head to head with former president Mahamane Ousmane, who placed second with 16.99 percent of votes, according to results announced by the electoral commission Saturday. The right hand man of outgoing president Mahamadou Issoufou, who was hoping for a one-touch victory in the first round, will now have to seek alliances before the second round of polls on Feb. 20. Voter turnout was pegged at 69.67 percent, with 5.2 million voters out of 7.4 million registered voters out of a population of 23 million. These must be validated by the Constitutional Court. Former prime ministers Seini Oumarou was third, Albadé Abouba, fourth, obtaining 8.95 percent and 7.07% of the votes, ahead of former Foreign Minister Ibrahim Yacouba, who was fifth with 5.38% of the votes, respectively. The other former president in contention, Salou Djibo, came in sixth with 2.99% of the vote. This is the first time in Niger's history that an elected president will succeed another elected president. A key hurdle for the winner of the February run-off vote will be to stem jihadist’s attacks in the Sahelian country that have killed hundreds of people. Some 500,000 refugees and others have been displaced from their homes, according to the United Nations. WI
caribbean now UK Travel Ban Extended Until Jan. 31 The Government of Jamaica has extended the travel ban on flights coming in country from the United Kingdom until Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021. Additionally, all non-Jamaicans who have been in the UK within the last 14 days prior to intended arrival date in Jamaica who may seek to enter the island through another country will not be permitted to enter Jamaica. Jamaicans who have been in the UK within the 14 days prior to intended arrival date and who seek to enter the island through another country will be tested and placed in state quarantine for a minimum of 48 hours until the results are returned. If negative, they will be allowed to transfer to home quarantine to complete the 14-day mandatory quarantine period. If positive, they will be transferred to isolation at a location that is approved by the Minis-
try of Health and Wellness. “The Ministry of Health & Wellness is monitoring the situation in the UK, including the outcomes of virological investigations, while preparing for an expected surge in local cases of COVID-19,” Minister of Health & Wellness Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton said. “These factors will influence the Ministry’s recommendation regarding the lifting of the travel ban.” Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health & Wellness will continue to work with the various airlines to support the repatriation of UK residents, who are in the island and wish to return to the UK. Cargo flights from the UK will continue to be exempted from the travel ban. WI
