Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - Troubled Central African Republic said Thursday it will hold a deferred presidential runoff alongside a new legislative vote on February 14.

The presidential run-off, originally due to be held on Sunday but delayed due to organisational problems, will see two former premiers compete for election.

A presidential decree said a December 30 legislative election annulled due to irregularities will be held along with the runoff on February 14.
