A group of army officers said on Wednesday they had seized power in coup-prone Guinea-Bissau, Radio France Internationale reported, after gunfire was heard at key locations in the capital.
The army officers said they had formed The High Military Command for the Restoration of Order and would be in charge of the West African nation until further notice.
The move came one day before the electoral commission was due to announce provisional results from a hotly contested presidential election between incumbent President Umaro Sissoco Embalo and top challenger Fernando Dias.
