Algeria’s incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, 78, has been re-elected to the position with an emphatic vote, says the country’s electoral authority.

“Of 5,630,000 voters recorded, 5,320,000 voted for the independent candidate Abdelmadjid Tebboune, accounting for 94.65 percent” of the vote, National Independent Authority for Elections (ANIE) head Mohamed Charfi told reporters in the capital Algiers.

Army-backed Tebboune’s challengers included conservative Abdelaali Hassani Cherif, who won 3 percent of the ballots, and socialist Youcef Aouchiche, who won 2.1 percent.
