CONAKRY, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Guinea has gained headway in preparing the long-delayed legislative elections with the completion of operations to revise the electoral lists, according to the West African country's National Independent Electoral Commission (CENI).

CENI has completed the operations to revise the electoral lists, despite the disruptions that were witnessed during the registration period in the capital Conakry and in the region of Forestiere, where deadly violence erupted on July 15-17, an official said on Monday.

The electoral commission pushed ahead with the operations in line with the election timetable, which provides that the revision end on July 27.

In a new electoral calendar, CENI has proposed the legislative elections be held on Sept. 24, after the postponement of the vote, which was initially set for June 30 by President Alpha Conde.

Guinea's legislative elections were due within six months after the presidential elections in November 2010 to end the crisis unleashed by a military coup in December 2008. The vote has never taken place because of tensions between the rival parties.
