Central African Republic's Constitutional Court on Monday validated President Faustin-Archange Touadera's victory in a disputed December 28 presidential election that handed him a third term.
"On behalf of the Central African people, the Constitutional Court declares Faustin Archange Touadera president-elect in the first round with 77.9% of the vote," President of the Constitutional Council Jean-Pierre Waboe said.
Touadera's main rival, former Prime Minister Anicet-Georges Dologuele, received 13.5% of the vote, final results from the electoral commission showed.
Another competitor, former Prime Minister Henri-Marie Dondra who got 2.97% of the vote, last week acknowledged Touadera's victory.
