French PM Manuel Valls suggests recount of Gabon election results

Paris: French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday a recount should be held of the votes in Gabon`s disputed presidential election.

"It would be wise to do a recount," Valls told French radio station RTL, but he said his first priority was ensuring the safety of the 14,000 French nationals who live in the central African nation where violence has flared following Ali Bongo`s re-election.
