Line 11:

Compaoré's campaign manager [[Salif Diallo]] expressed his confidence in his candidate, "Our objective is not the victory of our candidate in the first round - that's already a sure thing, given the mobilisation of our supporters and the popularity of our candidate. Our goal is rather that the turnout and the lead be high."

On [[October 27]] and [[October 28|28]], 18 labour unions called a two-day strike for higher salaries and pensions, and lower taxes on basic necessities. While in [[Gaskinde]], Sankara supportively stated, "The labour union strikes demonstrate that the citizens have had enough of this government."
