Africa Update: Equatorial Guinea court confirms ruling party’s landslide election win

Equatorial Guinea’s constitutional court has confirmed the results of this month’s elections in which the ruling party secured a landslide victory with 92 percent of the vote.

In an announcement late Tuesday, the court said it had validated the outcome of the November 12 poll in which the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) and its allies won all 75 senate seats and 99 of the 100 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of parliament.

It also won all of the mayoral seats across the country, in a ballot widely criticised by the opposition as fraudulent.
