President Alpha Condé is currently leading according to results from the 14 constituencies announced by the electoral commission so far, Reuters new agency reports. There are 20 constituencies in all.
His challenger Cellou Dalein Diallou claimed victory and said the election was marred by "anomalies".
He accused President Condé's administration of modifying results in the incumbent's favour.
President Condé has called for calm as the country awaits the official election results.
