UN Rejects Vote Rigging Claims in CAR as Touadéra Wins
An election in the Central African Republic went ahead, despite a series of attacks in the run-up to polling and threats to polling stations. Incumbent President Faustin Archange Touadera, who is seeking a second term, is the frontrunner. A new parliament was also voted on. The election came after a week of turbulence. Militias hostile to Touadera have stepped up attacks across CAR since the constitutional court rejected several candidates, including former President Francois Bozize.
