According to The Washington Post:
Central African Republic’s electoral commission says the nation’s strongman easily won last month’s vote.
The commission said Tuesday that President Francois Bozize took 66 percent of the vote. But opposition candidates said the Jan. 23 poll was riddled with irregularities and intimidation and that they will appeal to overturn the results.
Former president Ange-Felix Patasse took second place with 20 percent of the vote. Bozize overthrew Patasse in a 2003 coup.
