Former Prime Minister Ibrahim Boubacar Keita won Mali's presidency after his opponent conceded defeat late Monday in an election aimed at restoring stability to a country wracked by a coup and an al-Qaeda-linked Islamist insurgency.
Soumalia Cisse's concession allows Mali to move ahead with establishing a democratically elected government.
Keita, 68, had been expected to win the runoff easily, having pulled nearly 40 percent
